How to rotate rasters around an arbitrary point?

Hi All,

 

Is there a good way to rotate a raster around an arbitrary point (as you can with Vectors using the Rotator)? Because the docs say the rotator only allows rotation around the upper left corner of a raster.

 

 

Or failing that, does anyone know of a process I could put my features through to achieve the same result?

 

I suppose I can try Python, but that's always my last-resort.

 

 

Thanks,

Jonathan

Hi Jonathan,

 

 

I would use the 3DRotator. Try a Custom Axis setting like this.

 

Angle in Degrees: <rotation angle>

 

Rotate Along: Custom Axis

 

Origin X: <x coordinate of the point>

 

Origin Y: <y coordinate of the point>

 

Origin Z: <any. 0 is OK>

 

Direction X: 0

 

Direction Y: 0

 

Direction Z: 1

Hi Takashim

 

That works like a charm. I'd never have thought to have used 3DRotator.

 

Many thanks,

 

Jonathan
