hello

I know how I must rotate model but , my problem is changing the coordinate system to zooomed point as shown in image.

now when I rotate from position 2, my model rotate from Original Coordinate System not from point 2.

the rotation is always done from the center of the screen.

you can bring geometry at the center of the screen with a middle button click.

As we are talking 3D, think about your screen depth.

if you middle click on geometry the center of rotation should be easy to work with. If you middle click on the background, the center of rotation could be far away behind the geometry or far above it (screen depth) and with would not be easy to use.

bottom line: you can bring geometry at the center of the screen with a middle button click on the geometry and then rotate.
