Field Details:

The following fields are available:

Rotate By: specify the extent of the rotation here, and the axis or axes to perform a rotation about. All values should be represented in either positive or negative values, as degrees.

Rotate Around: by default, rotation will be performed around the center point of the view plane, however, you can also elect to rotate around the volumetric centre of the selected object (Centroid) or by a specified point in 3D space (Point).

If Point is selected, you can either explicitly define an XYZ location for the rotation origin, or use the Data Picker button to pick a point in any 3D window that will act as the point of rotation.
