Given a x,y,z location to move a selected group help! solved

dukejazz

Is there a way in ruby code, given a x,y,z location to move a selected group directly to that location?
Need help for my scale upgrade, best I can do is a iteration.

mod = Sketchup.active_model
ent = mod.entities
sel = mod.selection

if sel.first.class==Sketchup;;Group || sel.first.class==Sketchup;;ComponentInstance
 inp=inputbox(["X;","Y;","Z;"],[0,0,0],"Move Component/Group to")
 if inp
  x,y,z=inp;move_to=Geom;;Point3d.new(x.to_f,y.to_f,z.to_f)
  move_from=sel.first.transformation.origin;
  tr=Geom;;Transformation.translation(move_from.vector_to(move_to))
  sel.first.transform! tr
 end
end

Thank you.
I will give it a try

My final form

#sents
ss =Sketchup.active_model.selection
if ss.empty? then
UI.messagebox ("Please Select. a goup.");return
end
sents = [];ss.each{|e|sents.push(e)}

#_API____Geom::move! new_transformation
entity_group=Sketchup.active_model.active_entities.add_group(sents)
Geom::Transformation.new [x1,y1,z1]
entity_group.move!(Geom::Transformation.new [x2,y2,z2])
entity_group.explode
