hi list with rotate i can rotate a object around the center of the object . . . .but how do it rotate it around a arbitary point . .. . .ore is there a possability to "group" objects

...there is a [camera] object that can be used to track an objects...but now that I think about it , I'm not sure if I ever included a help file...now, where'd I put that?
...as far as grouping objects, I guess you'd have to calculate their center and then feed that into [camera]

how about [translate] ?
something like
| [translateXYZ 2 0 0] | [rotateXYZ] | [translateXYZ -2 0 0] |
should move the pivot-point of the rotation by -2/0/0
. .ore is there a possability to "group" objects
well, since gem uses hierarchic render-graphs, "grouping" should be as easy as splitting the graph (don't forget [separator])

and yes, there is no documentation for [camera] (which is a bit "anarchistic" for grouping objects in my opinion; but it might well be the simplest solution)

. .ah oki . . . see now the principle . . . . and that there are a existing camera is also nice to now . .. . thanx nos
