Changing the Center of an Object

Coding
#1

Hello!

A couple of students are interested in changing the center of an object so that when it turns it’s not based turning on its center, such as a door. Is there a way to change the center of an object?

Thanks!

Do you use Blockly? If yes, there is a special “turn” block in the “Transitions” category where you can change the local center of rotation using a vector. Here is an example using a door:

blockly

door-open

Thank you so much! This helped me in my class! My students were so excited when they learned how to go into a house that they created.
