Finding object coordinates shifted under transform group

Post by lc1997 »

Hi everyone, I'm trying to place objects that can be positioned as default items from one map to another, I started importing them into the new map in giants editor to place them, but having put them under a transform group to move them now I can't find the way to know the coordinates of the single object. Does anyone know if there is a way or what calculations need to be made?
Thanks

If I thinking you are trying work out coord's for object then it will be under Attributes> Translate X,Y,Z.
!Warning I am dislayxic I will type how i think, if you don't understand any of it then please say!

The translation (coordinates) for the individual objects are deltas from the translation of the transform group.
So an individual object with translation 0 0 0 is positioned at the same place as the transform group.
