How to rotate in 3D - define axes and reference point #88

It would be really helpful if rotation allowed you not only to specify a rotation axis and pivot but also a reference point. In rhino this is called Rotate3D and it is very helpful in CAD.

The only way to accomplish this right now AFAIK is to set a custom transform orientation from a face and then press X, Y, Z 6 times until you find that one axis. That's a lot of steps for what could be: Set pivot point Set rotation axis Set reference point Choose the target reference point

It would be amazing if this could be added.
