# PivotConstraint(Constraint)

base classes — `bpy_struct`, `Constraint`

class `bpy.types.``PivotConstraint`(Constraint)

  Rotate around a different point

  `head_tail`

    Target along length of bone: Head=0, Tail=1

    Type: | float in [0, 1], default 0.0

  `offset`

    Offset of pivot from target (when set), or from owner’s location (when Fixed Position is off), or the absolute pivot point

    Type: | float array of 3 items in [-inf, inf], default (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)

  `rotation_range`

    Rotation range on which pivoting should occur

    - `ALWAYS_ACTIVE` Always, Use the pivot point in every rotation.
    - `NX` -X Rot, Use the pivot point in the negative rotation range around the X-axis.
    - `NY` -Y Rot, Use the pivot point in the negative rotation range around the Y-axis.
    - `NZ` -Z Rot, Use the pivot point in the negative rotation range around the Z-axis.
    - `X` X Rot, Use the pivot point in the positive rotation range around the X-axis.
    - `Y` Y Rot, Use the pivot point in the positive rotation range around the Y-axis.
    - `Z` Z Rot, Use the pivot point in the positive rotation range around the Z-axis.

    Type: | enum in [‘ALWAYS_ACTIVE’, ‘NX’, ‘NY’, ‘NZ’, ‘X’, ‘Y’, ‘Z’], default ‘NX’

  `subtarget`

    Type: | string, default “”, (never None)

  `target`

    Target Object, defining the position of the pivot when defined

    Type: | `Object`

  `use_relative_location`

    Offset will be an absolute point in space instead of relative to the target

    Type: | boolean, default False
