Pivot point selection - rotatting groups of object primitives

[SavageDogg38]

Is there no option to use global pivot point to rotate objects or even a collection of objects by a single unified pivot point? I see the option under edit for global and local coordinates but I cannot get a group of blocks to pivot around a single pivot point - preferably world center. I want to swing the entire world around. It is a side stroller but I wanted the direction into the screen to be my Z to fit my scripts. I suppose I could change it, but it still would benefit me to know how I can change pivot points for objects or collection of objects. I've tried to Google it but couldn't find anything.

 

excuse my spelling - bad keyboard - plus I'm not the best speller

I'm unsure if you actually can change the 'pivot point' of an object, what I do is create a Pivot entity and then drag parent my objects to that. You can then rotate that Pivot and all it's children will rotate correctly.

Not entirely. All children rotate around their own axis instead of 1 centered axis of the selection group. I would post this in the suggestion forum.

Thanks guys - yes, this is definitely something that should be implemented. I have used a lot of engines and 3D Creation software and I was a bit confused about even asking the question because I thought this was something that was nearly mandatory. I thought I was losing my mind when I couldn't find the option - lol. Yes, going to recommend it now. Now my level must be remade from scratch because it is lacking such a fundamental option, I feel. I'm not too far in though. I should be able to catch up again soon. Thanks again!
