The answer to this may already exist?

I select all an object's points and animate a rotation of that object. On playing it there is a scale (down) effect. I tried FA_rotate-points.lua that allows setting the rotation point. Same. The obvious solution is put the object on its own layer and rotate-layer but, I figure it should just plain rotate and wonder if there is something I am missing here?

Yeah, for point rotation, even though it looks like a rotation while you're doing it, it is actually just a straight line interpolation. That threw me at first too.

The easiest solution is to bind the points to a bone. That way the points are held in position relative to the bone, and rotating the bone looks like they rotate. Same effect as layer rotation, but more flexible.

Bones is probably the major factor that helped me commit to AS. I see there is a lot i need to learn about just how much they can accomplish.

Yep. And glad to help.
