So each model has its own coordinate system, its own origin and its own position in the world. And usually these are completely independent of other models. Once you start linking those models together, however you can decide that you want one of those coordinate systems for one of the models to be, think of it as the dominant one and then you can copy that coordinate system and overwrite the coordinate systems in the other models. By doing that, then what you're doing is essentially giving each model an awareness of its position in the world relative to the other…
