In CADFEKO, the geometry of primitives are inconsistent, changing depending on what is selected.
I have a geometry made in CADFEKO from primitives. It looks correct, in orange. When I select a primitive (like a cylinder), it shows in yellow in a different location. If I double-click the primitive, the modify cylinder dialog comes up and the cylinder is in green, but back in the original location. In other geometries, the entire geometry shows shifted from where it should be, in orange. Selecting a primitive shows it in the same location in yellow, but double-clicking shows the primitive shifted from the other two, in green. I don't understand why selecting or double-clicking a primitive are showing in two different locations, and why which matches the full geometry can vary.

Hi Michael,
It would be good to know which version you are using. Could you also attach an example model?
Best regards,

It's Version 2023.0, it says that right below my question.
I'd rather not upload the model, but I can upload some images. The first one shows the first geometry I described in my OP, with the model primitives all in the right place. The second one shows when I've selected one of the primitives, and it's moved up some amount. If I double click it to see its properties, and try to fix the problem, it shifts back down as seen in the third image. Why would any model ever behave like that?

Hi Michael,
Your Union1 was moved in the negative z-direction using "Translate", right? If you now open the dialog of one of the geometry parts contained in the union, you will see the preview of the original position. This is as expected, because it is not the geometry part itself that has been moved, but the union in which it is located.
Best regards,
