I am running Houdini v10.0.465 on a MacPro with OS X 10.6.2 The keyboard does not have an INS key so how do I set the pivot point of an object. I don't want my pivot to be in the center of the object.
If you right-click on the handle, you'll note all the possible hotkey mappings to the menu item “Pivot Mode”. In particular, you can use either the Insert key or the " (double-quote) key.
