When a Pivot menu is on, a small red button with the letter P on top appears next to the Translate
X numeric input field
This red button indicates that the numeric inputs for Translate X,Y and Z do not contain the
Translation properties of the object itself but rather the location of the chosen (rotate or scale)
pivot point relative to the point we choose in the Pivot menu (e.g. if we choose C-C-C and
Translate X,Y,Z is 0,0,0 respectively, it means the pivot point is right at the center of the object.
As long as the pivot menu is “active”, a small red cube in the Preview window indicates the
location of the pivot so it is easy to keep track of its movement . With a solid object however, if the
pivot located at its center, the red cube would be invisible, the object itself would cover it That is
why the Object is rendered as semi-transparent while its pivot points are adjusted.
