Hey Guys.
I'm making a building/skyscraper/tower thing, which is a quadruple helix. I Figured the Way I could do this would be to make 4 towers and rotate each subdivision around the point of origin the create a helix shape. However, I cannot, as every time I enter in the code to rotate, each tower rotates around its own centerpoint.
Any way to make everything rotate around one point (or another way to make a helix?)
Thanks in advance.

You'll want to merge them together to one model. Then you can either manipulate the model itself or - and this might be easier - create a lattice as a control object for your model twisting. Here is a pretty easy tutorial on just that:

Wow, thanks so much!
The Irony is I actually had just used merge to make the tower, and then I completely forgot about it.
Lattices, Well, I'd just plain never heard of them
Again, Thanks.
