Basically I want to update an old map I already remodeled most of the buildings but changing every single of them will be a bit time consuming is there an better way to replace them?

Maybe you could do new materials/colors or minor changes?

Well if you really want to do it, your going to have to do it. I don’t see anyway around it

You can use the Command Bar to write a script that will make the new model’s CFrame the old model’s CFrame. Then, you can delete the old model.

for i,v in pairs(--location of the folder:GetChildren())do
  v.Material = --something
v.--etc
end

--Put everything old in that folder

So, in my case I should use for example
Local oldpos = v.Cframe
And clone the new model and replace like
Newmodel.Cframe = oldpos
?
Of course I would have to get a primary part on the models

i did that
for i,v in pairs (game.workspace.castelo:GetChildren()) do

local oldpos = v:GetPrimaryPartCFrame()

print(oldpos)

local Newmodel = game.workspace.CasteloM.Model:Clone()

Newmodel.PrimaryPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(oldpos)

Newmodel.Parent = game.CasteloN

end

but now im getting a error with the vector3 since it requires a vector3 value instead of the cframe one, is there a way to use the Cframe value?

Fixed by using a SetPrimaryPartCframe Value
