How to rotate a object on axis world three.js?

Question

Is it possible to do rotations taking axis of the world and not of the object?

I need to do some rotations of an object, but after the first rotation, I can\'t do ot

@acarlon Your answer might just have ended a week of frustration. I've refined your function a bit. Here are my variations. I hope this saves someone else the 20+ hours I spent trying to figure this out.

function calcRotationAroundAxis( obj3D, axis, angle ){

    var euler;

    if ( axis === "x" ){
        euler = new THREE.Euler( angle, 0, 0, 'XYZ' );      
    }

    if ( axis === "y" ){
        euler = new THREE.Euler( 0, angle, 0, 'XYZ' );              
    }

    if ( axis === "z" ){
        euler = new THREE.Euler( 0, 0, angle, 'XYZ' );      
    }
    obj3D.position.applyEuler( euler );
}

function calcRotationIn3D( obj3D, angles, order = 'XYZ' ){

   var euler;

   euler = new THREE.Euler( angles.x, angles.y, angles.z, order );

   obj3D.position.applyEuler( euler );

}

This works beautifully in r91. Hope it helps.
