          I did read tha API transformation, but still cant get how exactly can I get the position

          Assume I want to draw an edge from the (o,o,o) Point to the component position, what should I type in the ruby?

          thank a lot

            Something like this...

            
            comp_instance = (Sketchup.active_model.entities.select{ |e| e.typename == "ComponentInstance"}).first
            Sketchup.active_model.entities.add_edges( ORIGIN, comp_instance.transformation.origin )
