Set 3d cube rotation origin

I have a simple 3d cube (BoxGeometry of 100, 100, 100) and I am trying to rotate it. If we call all 100x100x100 a tile - when I rotate it I can see it's overlapping the below tile.
(by changing color, now I totally understand the behaviour).
tl.to(this.cube4.rotation, 0.5, {z: -45* Math.PI/180});
[
What if I want to rotate it based on an anchor point of right bottom? So instead of overflowing inside the below tile, it will overflow that portion to above tile.
So it will look like the green example and not the red example:
The red example here is achieved by
tl.to(this.cube4.rotation, 0.5, {z: -45* Math.PI/180});
tl.to(this.cube4.position, 0.5, {x: 50 }, 0.5);
I am very new to three.js so if any terminology is wrong, please warn me

Add the ("red") cube to a THREE.Group, in that way that the rotation axis (the edge) is in the origin of the group. This means the cube has to be shifted by the half side length.
If you rotate the group object, then the cube (which is inside the group) will rotate around the edge and not around its center.
e.g.
var bbox = new THREE.Box3().setFromObject(cube);
cube.position.set(bbox.min.x, bbox.max.y, 0);
var pivot = new THREE.Group();
pivot.add(cube);
scene.add(pivot);
See also the answer to How to center a group of objects?, which uses this solution to rotate a group of objects.

From the first image, it appears that the pivot of your red tile is at its center.
For the rotation you want, you would ideally change the pivot to the lower right of the cube. This is impossible without modifying the geometry of the cube.
BUT a simple trick is to create an empty node at that pivot point, parent your cube to that empty, and apply your rotation to the empty. (Don't forget to remove your translation, you don't need it anymore)
Here is some pseudo code, assuming your red box is centered at (0,0,0) and has a width and height of 100:
// create an empty node at desired rotation pivot
var empty = new Object3D or group
empty.position = (50, -50, 0)
// parent your cube to the empty
var cube = your box
empty.add(cube)
// you may need to change the local position of your cube to bring it back to its global position of (0,0,0)
cube.position = (-50, 50, 0)
rotate empty by 45°

I think you can get the bounds of the rotated object like this:
bounds = new THREE.Box3().setFromObject( theRedObject )
Then reposition the object.y based on its bounds.min.y

three.js rendering text to scene

I'm new at three.js.
In my work, I have to made 3d graphical website.
So after searched in google, I found that three.js is suitable to manipulate WebGL conveniently.
In three.js document(https://threejs.org/docs/#api/en/geometries/TextGeometry),
TextGeometry is API for draw text in the scene.
[src.js]
init = () => {
window.addEventListener('resize', resizeWindow);
var scene = new THREE.Scene();
var camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(75, window.innerWidth / window.innerHeight, 0.1, 10000);
var controls = new THREE.OrbitControls( camera );
controls.update();
var renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer();
renderer.setClearColor(0xdd3b56);
renderer.setSize(window.innerWidth, window.innerHeight);
// Set shadow
renderer.shadowMap.enabled = true;
// Show Axis
var axes = new THREE.AxisHelper(5);
scene.add(axes);
// Text
var loader = new THREE.FontLoader();
loader.load( './helvetiker_regular.typeface.json', function ( font ) {
var geometry = new THREE.TextGeometry( 'Hello three.js!', {
font: font,
size: 80,
height: 5,
curveSegments: 12,
bevelEnabled: true,
bevelThickness: 10,
bevelSize: 8,
bevelSegments: 5
} );
} );
var textMaterial = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial({color: 0xFE98A0});
var text = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, textMaterial);
text.position.x = 0;
text.position.y = 10;
text.position.z = 10;
scene.add(text);
// Light
var spotLight = new THREE.SpotLight(0xFFFFFF);
spotLight.position.set(-40, 60, 30);
spotLight.castShadow = true;
spotLight.shadow.mapSize.width = 5120;
spotLight.shadow.mapSize.height = 5120;
scene.add(spotLight);
// Camera Setting
camera.position.x = 0;
camera.position.y = 30;
camera.position.z = 30;
camera.lookAt(scene.position);
document.getElementById("threejs_scene").appendChild(renderer.domElement);

function renderScene() {

renderer.render(scene, camera);

When I execute my code, it throws [.WebGL-0x7fb612852000]RENDER WARNING: Render count or primcount is 0. and WebGL: too many errors, no more errors will be reported to the console for this context. errors.
So I searched it at google, it occured when Three.js is trying to render an object that does not exist yet.
But in my code, I already defined it.
var textMaterial = new THREE.MeshPhongMaterial({color: 0xFE98A0});
var text = new THREE.Mesh(geometry, textMaterial);
text.position.x = 0;
text.position.y = 10;
text.position.z = 10;
How can I solve this issue?
My last goal is display text in the scene.
Thanks.

How to use dat.gui to control the rotation speed of a model in three.js?

I wanna control rotation speed of my model,so I try to use dat.gui to accomplish it.And I write flollows in my render script:
function render() {
group.rotation.y -= controls.rotation;
renderer.render(scene, camera);
}
controls is parameter of dat.gui.
var controls = {
rotation :-0.004,
};
var gui = new dat.GUI();
gui.add(controls, 'rotation', -0.001, 0.001);
But when I run my demo,my model disappeared!I can see my scene only.
I wanna know where errors occur,so I modify it:
function render() {
alert(controls.rotation);
group.rotation.y -= controls.rotation;
renderer.render(scene, camera);
}
I found first alert was -0.004,but the others (the second,the third,etc...)were undefined.So I guess my demo only render the first frame，because model was not loading competely，so I cannot see it.
I wanna to know why it happened,and how to fix it？

Have you tried to use in the render cycle
group.rotateY(controls.rotation);
for setting the geometry rotation? (I'm asumming you're rotating the geometry).
Another aproach could be the following:
var rotationAngle = 0.001;
...
var gui = new dat.GUI();
gui.add(controls, 'rotation', -5, 5).onChange(function(value){
rotationAngle = value * Math.PI / 180;
});
...
function render() {
group.rotateY(rotationAngle);
renderer.render(scene, camera);
}

I know what make this……because follows：
var controls = new THREE.OrbitControls(camera);
controls.addEventListener('change', render);
Delete that and model appeared.
Modify it as follows and it work correctly:
cameraControls = new THREE.OrbitControls(camera, renderer.domElement);
cameraControls.addEventListener('change', render);
But it still has an error:when you rotate using mouse,it rotates more and more fast^

The answer provided by #adonike worked for me.
However, I observed that whenever I move the dat.gui slider to "0", the object continues to rotate.
So I tried out a few modifications that stopped the rotation when slider is set to "0" value.
1] Setting the rotation value to a decimal value which is closest to step 1. I dont know why or how it works to explain the logic. It was dumbluck i guess.
var controls = new function() {
this.rotation = 0.9; // a value close to step 1
};
2] Setting the rotation steps to 1.(any non decimal value works)
// Setting slider steps to 1
var gui = new dat.GUI();
gui.add(controls, 'rotation', -5, 5).step(1).listen().onChange(function(value){
rotationAngle = value * Math.PI / 180;
});
This method only seemed to work when the steps are whole numbers.

three.js script won't work

I'm reading a book "Learning Three.js - The JavaScript 3D Library for WebGL - 2nd Edition" and first example in book which is not working at all.
Can someone please give me a direction why? I'd tried with "How can I enable WebGL in my browser?" and it didn't help. But examples on three.js / examples are working as they should.
I've extracted three.js and put example bellow in build folder where three.js is located.
Do I need local web server to test WebGL?
Now I try to debug and code in Visual Code. Any other recommendations?

Size of Collada Object

Fist time I'm working with javascript, WebGL and Three.js.
I added dae 3D model to my scene and now I have to get it's size to generate objects inside of it. But when I added dae object, it displayed rotated on the scene. As I read somewhere and also tested, I can't just rotate my object because bounding box will not rotate with it. What should I do to get the size of the object?

You using dae.scale.set(120, 150, 120); Are you sure you want to scale object 150 times? Default scale is dae.scale.set(1,1,1).
You can setup obj = new THREE.Object3D();scene.add(obj); and your model put to the object obj.add(dae); Then you can manipulate with object (pre-scale object, rotate and translate.)...
