You must've missed the recent thread about this. There's time to catch up before the test.

Since the topic of this thread is "better" Object Rotation, I would like to
bring up a problem with vertical rotation in ActiveWorlds, and offer a potential solution... Objects in ActiveWorlds are built around a 3D origin point which is generally at the bottom of the object at the intersection of the X and Z centerlines. The problem this introduces is that, for example, if you try to rotate a cube 90 degrees around the x axis (through the y-z plane) you burry half of the object underground. The solution I propose is to rotate them around a semi-artificial center. The new center of rotation would be halfway between the two extremes of the y axis at the x-z origin. Not sure if or how it could be done.. but there it is anyway.

Having an option to do this would be fine, but not all the time. Objects are created centered for, sometimes, specific purposes.
