Description
Hi.
Same issue that the #5524 : https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/issues/5524
It is impossible to fix the rotation point to a specific point to analyse data around this point.
Example : https://codepen.io/someuser12/pen/rNXLPRJ
The center is located at 0,0,0 in the layout (center of one of the sphere) but the rotation point is located at the middle of the graph at 500,0,0 (why ?)
If i change the center with the different button (for exemple fix it at x = 1000), the plot disappear to infinity and beyond.
Would be nice to have this feature to be able to navigate around a 3d system and analyse what happened.
In my case, we study (and plot) birds trajectories around wind turbine. We need to rotate around a specific point of the bird trajectory.
Regards

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #5524 and the linked CodePen example to reproduce the 3D camera behavior. Trace the existing 3D camera implementation from the reproduction; done means rotation can be centered on a specified data-coordinate point without the plot disappearing.
