Alright so I’m animating this Trebuchet I modeled,

But I forgot how to move the gizmo around so that you can rotate an object around the right location. I need to rotate the main arm (Brown) at where the Red X is and the bottom weight (Blue) around the Green X.

Any knowledge would be much appreciated. Thanks,
