Dear NG,

I wanted to learn more about transformations like rotation and etc. There
must be a reference point for each. For things like translate, I guess it
does not matter.. but for rotate? is the reference the x,y and z axis? I
first thought that reference point were calculated using the centroid of
the object being translated.



And another question is regarding rotation. I think there is a certain
function called v_rotation (or something similar) in which I can define the
rotation axis, but.. this seems to only rotate a point. Is there a certain
function that could define the rotation axis of any object?

I want something similar to Lathe (but Lathe 1. rotates splines and curves
2. rotates them with almost infinite copies) but in which objects are
rotated but with small number of copies (say 5 copies in a 360 degree angle
rotation). Any advise would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
Jose Capco
