In order to change the position of the imported geometry, you have to use the following method:
1 | Create 2 coordinate systems as follows : A in [0,0,0] with respect to XYZ1 B in [0,0,0] with respect to A |
---|---|
2 | Import the geometry and center it to B |
3 | Modify the rotation angles (about X,Y or Z) of the system B in order to rotate the geometry as needed |
4 | Modify the origin (X, Y or Z) of the system A in order to move the geometry as needed |
