Why when you rotate an object (.x) does it rotate it around the world axis instead of its own axis? And does anyone know how to fix it? It is driving me crazy. All I want to do is rotate a door like it is opening from hinges. I even tried rotating the object and then repositioning it back where it was .... but this didn't work as it must change its coordinates too as it just stays where the rotate put it Any Ideas are greatly appreciated.

objects rotate around their center which can be changed in a 3d modeler or by using offset limb and setting the limb # as 0

Check out the plug-in that I released called EZrotate. You can find it in the Program anouncement boards. Your problem is that DB uses Euler angles and that are confusing. My plug-in will take your pain away

Hoooowwwwllll!!!!
