This is done by setting their respective Transform properties. When you set the Transform property on a 3D object, you are mapping your object’s coordinate space into a new coordinate space. This is no different than what happens when you position an element in 2D by using the Canvas.Left and Canvas.Top properties.

In 3D, there is a top-level world coordinate system. To position, size, and orient 3D objects within the world coordinate system, you use the five subclasses of Transform3D:

TranslateTransform3D—Offsets a 3D object relative to its container.
