How to move a group

mr_Creator

hi guyes
I create a group and add to group face


group1 = entities.add_group
face = group1.definition.entities.add_face(f[0], f[1], f[2], f[3])

Next I will rotate everything in this group


[X_AXIS, Y_AXIS].each { |axis|
	if not face.normal.samedirection?(Z_AXIS)
	   if face.normal.perpendicular?(axis)
		  angle = face.normal.angle_between(axis)
		  angle = 180 - (angle * 180 / Math;;PI)
		  rotation = Geom;;Transformation.rotation(group1.bounds.center, axis, angle.degrees)
		  group1.entities.transform_entities(rotation, group1.entities.to_a)
		end
	end
}

Next I need to move everything to the origin of global coordinates. How to do it?
group1.transformation.origin have zero coordinats, but group1 is not at zero.
how to move a group or its contents to another location?

group1 = entities.add_group

This line of code will create a new group at the origin of entities. If this is the top level model's entities, then this is the global origin. If it is some other component's or group's entities, then it is their local origin.

group1.transformation.origin have zero coordinates, but group1 is not at zero.

This confirms then that group1's origin is at the origin of the active edit context's origin.
