setting the center of rotation.
If you're not in LEdit: Which modelling too are you using? MLCad? LeoCAD?

| Hi folks, I've just picked up the challenge of using Ldraw, L3P, and POV-ray. At (URL) you can see my first crack results. They are crude by the standards of some of your works, but I'm pretty excited about how little time it took to run through the (...) (25 years ago, 2-May-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)
