Hello,

as @Cairyn said the function SetModelingAxis purpose is to change the modeling axis for some modeling tools only. (Move, Rotate, Scale...?) To see the effect of that function, you must define the axis to free first.

But, maybe you were expecting this function to move the axis of the object itself. There is no function to do so. You can only move the object axis itself. That will also move the points of the object. Then, you need to move all the points of the object to the original place.

In this thread, you will find @ferdinand explaining how this works and how to move back the points at their original position.

I would also point to our matrix manual to understand how they are used.

If you just want to move the object, you can use SetMg, SetRelPos, SetAbsPos, SetFrozenPos. There are also functions to define Relative, Absolute or Frozen rotation. SetRelRot..etc

# Define an object's position using matrices. def main() -> None: m = c4d.Matrix() m.off = c4d.Vector(120, 0, 0) op.SetMg(m) c4d.EventAdd()

Cheers,
Manuel
