Got it...I think. AFAIK it is already in the same place as the offsets. From
the 3D modeling howto:
/offsets/x-m
The distance to reposition the model along the x-axis.
/offsets/y-m
The distance to reposition the model along the y-axis.
/offsets/z-m
The distance to reposition the model along the z-axis.
/offsets/heading-deg
The angle by which to rotate the model around the z-axis.
/offsets/roll-deg
The angle by which to rotate the model around the x-axis.
/offsets/pitch-deg
The angle by which to rotate the model around the y-axis.
Best,
Jim
