Scene rotation around a pivot

[Visam]

Hi

Of course, there are at least two ways to do it: for each scene mesh to do rotateAround or create a "root" mesh / set as parent and do the same (rotateAround).

But may be there is another way to rotate whole scene around a pivot?

Thanks

Why do you need rotate whole scene? 

Just move camera around scene.

sometime engineers need to make a model transformations like this:

it means a transformation should be applied to whole scene :-)

Also it can help to fix "the up axis problem". You can take a look at the example http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#2EE9UD#19

You can change the camera position (line 9,10,11) but you will not be able to set X or Z as up axis to rotate around.

Sorry @iTekVR I'm not getting you point.

If you make invisible parent box, attach all you models to parent, then you can rotate?

"the up axis problem" - In my project I'm treating Yaxis as Zaxis.

of course, I can make invisible box. I wrote about it in my first message: " create a "root" mesh / set as parent ...."

But what will you do if you want to change up axis dynamically? something like this: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/navisworks-products/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/How-to-change-model-orientation-in-Navisworks.html

My point is try to find easy solution to apply a transformation to a scene instead of to each mesh or to a parent mesh
