GetPrimaryPartCFrame() has an offset from the actual PrimaryPartCFrame

I’m trying to tell the server where to place a model. The model is in one spot on the client, but on the server, is offset for whatever reason. I’m sending the model’s PrimaryPartCFrame() with GetPrimaryPartCFrame() through a RemoteEvent, like this:

event:FireServer(item:GetPrimaryPartCFrame())

And then, on the server, make a new item and set its CFrame like this:

event.OnServerEvent:connect(function(plr, cframe)
   --Pretend item exists for the sake of clarity
   item:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(cframe)
end)

I see no reason why the item is offset. I’ve tried just reading the primary part’s CFrame the old-fashioned way (primarypart.CFrame) to no avail.

How big is the offset?
There are known issues with SetPrimaryPartCFrame offsetting models by a bit.

I made a gif in the OP to show the issue. It’s a significant offset.

I’ve used this method to place items in the past and everything worked like a charm. Don’t know why it isn’t working here…

Did you try comparing sent CFrame and received one?

That was a good idea. Unfortunately the CFrame being received is the same as the one being sent.

Here’s my full code. Maybe there’s something here I’m missing?

events:WaitForChild("PlaceItem").OnServerEvent:connect(function(plr, itmname, cframe, pcolor, scolor)
    if true then --Add checks here later.
	   local item = game.ReplicatedStorage.Furniture:FindFirstChild(itmname)
	   if item then
	     print(cframe)
	     item = item:Clone()
	     item.Colors.PrimaryColor.Value = pcolor
	     item.Colors.SecondaryColor.Value = scolor
	     item.PrimaryPart = item.Primary
	     item:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(cframe)
	     item.Parent = game.Workspace
	   end
    end
end)

Are you sure that you’re not modifying relative positions on client and that you don’t have two parts called Primary?

I changed the primarypart on the server model. Thanks so much!
