Models

Models can be referred to by name or number. Models can be added to or removed from the
world at any time.
In the member's parent-child hierarchy, each model can have a maximum of one parent, but it
can have an unlimited number of children. Models with no parent can exist in the 3D world but
are not rendered. A child's position and orientation depend on its parent's position and
orientation, and it changes when the position and orientation of the parent changes. Models can
have any other group, light, camera or model as their parent, or they can have no parent specified.
In this case, their
is identical to their
relationship both to their immediate parent and to the world parent. You can add or remove
models from the 3D world at any time by using the
methods.
For example, if the first child of the model named
script would refer to the position of the wheel relative to the model named
transform
car1.child[1].transform.position
To refer to the position of the wheel model relative to the world itself, use
getWorldTransform()
car1.child[1].getWorldTransform().position
