# Rotation Transform

## About this Block

The Rotation Transform block defines a transform that rotates an object about a specified axis. To rotate a body by its central axis, place the centroid property of its bounding box in the 'Center point' input. The transform can be used by using the **Transform Object** block. Alternatively, the **Rotate Object** block performs the same operation directly on an object.

***

Create a transform to represent a rotation around an axis.
