How would u pivot a model that doesnt use the primary part as its axis

I want to move a model, but I dont want it to use a primary part as its axis/center how would i do that?

then you need a CFrame in which space the model is located.
So you calculate position for the frame, then map model’s CFrame and set result to model’s pivot.

3

So I need to get the CFrame I want the pivot to revolve around?

you can try to use GetBoundingBox method or use ExtentsCFrame/Size for base parts in it or use GetBoundingBox and offset it with boxCF * some random CFrame before rotating from that cframe position

You need to create one.
You can even parent it to a model as CFrameValue.
Your code should:

  1. map model’s pivot to object space of the CFrame, let’s name it LocalCFrame
  2. move the CFrame
  3. map LocalCFrame back to world space
  4. set model’s pivot to result CFrame from 3.

This way you move model not using arbitrary pivot.
This addresses your question from OP.

But I don’t know what you really need.
Another approach, and still achieving the same, could be not using scripts at all:

  1. create dummy part at pivot point
  2. weld model’s root part to it
  3. rotate and move the dummy
