Is there a way to rotate the paths of a "compound" spline individually?
* I have here a spine consisting of 3 paths and I want (if possible) to rotate the individual components, each comprised of 3 path hops, by selecting the root of each path (presumably plus all points above the root).
* On a single point select, the transform widget rotates as expected, but nothing happens to the spline.
* I can select more points of the spline and rotate around the "centre of gravity" of the selected points (which distorts the entire spline), but I can't transfer the pivot of these selected points to some useful "root node" which acts as a hinge.
* I am aware that that can be achieved by point recording, bit this is a bit messy and seems untidy to me
* In the attached screen shot I want to select a point (red arrow) and rotate the top end of the spline (blue circle) around the Y-axis.
* Thank you for any advice.
