      I am trying to make a custom ride that will be animated in a game and need help in creating pivot and rotational points.

      This is the pivot point (red arrow) the bar has to pivot upward by 90 degrees like a lever.

      This is the rotaional point (red arrow) the center hub is stationary and the vertical arm rotates:

      How would I achieve setting the points?

            Maybe attached file will help. It involves rotating a group or component about one of its bounding box's axes by applying the 'Move' tool. groups and components have four grips per side.


            influencing the size of bounding box of component for rotations
