I need rotate “_ **wing** _” around of specific pivot point, as pivot i am using a second “mesh” pivot is son of father (antena body) and wing is son of pivot, so, why both child have same pivot (_wing is supposed to rotate using the “pivot” pivot_) _I suppose it is not necessary to use a mesh for the pivot, but how do I do it then?_ ![erty](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/d/5/d5ecf365c07ee4369839f813c181575074296b1d.jpeg) (with GKB works fine, but unfortunately i can not use GLB files) here is the PLayground with model loaded: > **[Babylon.js Playground](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#7OLIMH%237)** > > Babylon.js playground is a live editor for Babylon.js WebGL and WebGPU 3D scenes ---

You don’t need pivot for that. With an origin (0,0,0) at the base of the antenna, then parent the antenna to the body and set a local rotation + translation to the antenna. see the gizmo here: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/6/5/6568e66a7ace94edc2eded625c0d5b33ef8aee40.png) recenter the mesh so the antena rotation axis passes through the origin. ---
