That is true, however, that changes to an arbitrary ''ORIGIN'' and not an arbitrary axis.  Imagine a disk spinning around an axis that is orthogonal to the plane of the disk, but the disk is tilted on its side.  --[[User:Bravo2|Bravo2]] 15:57, 14 Feb 2007 (PST)

Move the small circle that starts in the center of the object to where you want your axis to be. I beleive it will rotate around this point. --Daedalus 04:19, 13 Feb 2007 (PST)

That is true, however, that changes to an arbitrary ORIGIN and not an arbitrary axis. Imagine a disk spinning around an axis that is orthogonal to the plane of the disk, but the disk is tilted on its side. --Bravo2 15:57, 14 Feb 2007 (PST)
