Hello everyone,

I’ve tried to get the rotate a node around a specified point script to work.  
I followed the video as described here:

> [@Rotation around specific point](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/rotation-around-specific-point/9398/11):
>
> I’ve just tried the [script](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/developer_guide/script_repository.html#rotate-a-node-around-a-specified-point) that I posted earlier and it worked well. I’ve recorded it on a [video](https://1drv.ms/v/s!Arm_AFxB9yqHucN9pd6edw1a1cgxbg?e=x5SJOd) so that you can see all the steps.

Im working in slicer 5.0.3

After applying the script it still rotates around the centerpoint. No errors given.

Any help would be appreciated

Have you applied transform\_4 to the model and rotated the object using the transform\_3 as shown in the video? Could you record a similar video to show what do you do exactly?

I installed another instance of slicer, and now it seems to be working. Thank you for your time.
