How to change the position of a model by a script?

It’s possible to change the position of one part with a script by Vector.new.
But is it possible with a model?

Yep, there’s a MoveTo(destination) function that moves the model to the destination.

Example:

local Model = game.Workspace.Model
local WhereItShouldGo = Vector3.new(5, 10, 3)

Model:MoveTo(WhereItShouldGo)

Be advised, :MoveTo() always uses collisions. Your model might be positioned too high using it.

Is there any other way that would work the same as MoveTo? I suppose you can weld everything to one part and change that part’s CFrame. Cframe doesn’t use collisions, right?

Modifying the Model’s PrimaryPart position can be a solution

Positions use collisions tho, and would you have to weld all the parts to the primaryPart to make them move with it, or would they just move with it anyway?

They just move with it. (30 characters hsbdgdbsjsgsbxjshbs)

Oh, so then SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame) is probably better than MoveTo.

local Model = game.Workspace.Model
local Destination = CFrame.new(5, 10, 3)
Model:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Destination)
