Hello all,

I am new to Studio. I am creating a scene and I need to manipulate the arm. basically
I need to raise his arm. I tried using the hinge tool and when I do I the hinge
point is in the middle of the body. I can not seem to get the hinge point on
the arm.

thank you

It's the difference between
 
Part No: 973c00 Name: Torso Plain / (Same Color) Arms / (Same Color) Hands
* 		973c00 (Inv) Torso Plain / (Same Color) Arms / (Same Color) Hands
Parts: Minifigure, Torso Assembly
and it's components
 
Part No: 973 Name: Torso Plain
* 		973 Torso Plain
Parts: Minifigure, Torso
and
 
Part No: 981 Name: Arm, Left
* 		981 Arm, Left
Parts: Minifigure, Body Part
and
 
Part No: 983 Name: Hand
* 		983 Hand
Parts: Minifigure, Body Part
.

You have to either enter the assembly ('submodel/edit' or the 'assembly
edit' icon), or you have to break the assembly in its components ('release'.
Only then can you hinge the components. Also note the difference between rotation
(your screen capture) and hinging, although both actions use the same shortcut.
