Re: Tumble Tool

You can also change the crosshair button (Rotation scaling pivot
hotkeys:comma, shift comma, period) into just a dot which will rotate
things around their own center (Active object).

The other cool thing is resizing a whole group by their own origins
using the 3 dots depicting individual centers.  That one works well
for dimming some types of lights as a group.

I modeled an old opera house in Blender, putting all of the
streetlights on one layer, and an arch of entry lights ( about 20) on
another layer.  Then, if the archway lights (lamps) were too bright I
could switch to that layer, 'A' to select all, then scale them using
individual centers and the lights would all dim down.

That seems a bit obvious to me and perhaps that is far from what you
were asking, but hopefully it may help someone.
