TransformCollection

Example

application = cf.Application.GetInstance()
project = application:NewProject()

cuboid = project.Contents.Geometry:AddCuboid(cf.Point(0,0,0),1,1,1)

    -- Use the TransformCollection to add a geometry transform

transformGeometryCollection = cuboid.Transforms
transformGeometryCollection:AddTranslate(cf.Point(0,0,0),cf.Point(1,1,1))

    -- Retrieve and delete the transform

transformGeometryCollection:Item(1):Delete()
