      Problem: I have lots of groups. I Want to select them. Execute a ruby plug and the Axis/Origing of everygroup is moved to a random location.

      I tried setting transformation.axes but this only tranforms everything inside the group leaving the Axis / Origing to its original position. I found many Similar question and problems but its realy misty on how to do this correct,clean and fast!

      Thx in advance guys. πŸ˜„

        You make a transformation
        tr=Geom::Transformation.translation(vector)
        and apply it to the group as:
        group.transform!(tr)
        to move it by that vector.

        You can generate a random vector ...

        If you want to - to move the contents of the group back, so that although it appears to be unchanged its axes are now elsewhere use:
        group.entities.transform_entities(tr.inverse, group.entities.to_a)
