This modifier has no parameters, but you can
transform the XForm gizmo and the XForm center.
If you switch the selection level to the XForm
center, only the Mo ve transform is available. This
lets you offset the center and transform the gizmo
around it. Both offset and gizmo transformations
are animatable.
