Examples

The translation values are calculated by CityEngine based on the corner of the asset's bounding box, using the corner with the lowest possible x, y, and z coordinates (XYZmin).
Any specific 3D transformations in the source asset, such as Maya translations, are not the same as the translations CityEngine computes here.
