\section{Positioning a solid}

\subsection{\Index{Translation}}

The following command~
\texttt{\Lcs{psSolid}[object=cube,+\textit{options}](x,y,z)} shifts the
centre of the cube to the point with the coordinates $\mathtt{(x,y,z)}$.

The next example will copy the cube with edge length of 1
\begin{pspicture}(-0.5,-0.5)(.5,.5)
\psset{Decran=40,viewpoint=50 35 35 rtp2xyz,a=1,lightsrc=50 30 20}
\psset{fillcolor=yellow,mode=3}
\psSolid[object=cube](0.5,0.5,0.5)% c1
\end{pspicture}
to the points with the coordinates $\mathtt{(0.5,0.5,0.5)}$,
 $\mathtt{(4.5,0.5,0.5)}$ etc. so that the copied cubes setup the vertices
 of a new cube with the edge length 5.

\subsection{Rotation}

The \Index{rotation} is effected around the three axes $Ox$, $Oy$ and $Oz$. Let's take a cuboid as an example,
\begin{pspicture}(-1,-0.2)(1,.5)
\psset{Decran=40,viewpoint=50 35 35 rtp2xyz,a=2,b=3,c=1,lightsrc=50 30 30}
\psset{fillcolor=yellow,unit=0.5,
  fcol= 0 (Apricot)
        1 (Lavender)
        2 (SkyBlue)
        3 (LimeGreen)
        4 (OliveGreen)
        5 (Yellow)
        6 (Bittersweet)}
\psSolid[object=parallelepiped](0.5,0.5,0.5)%
\end{pspicture}
which will be rotated seperately around the axes $Ox$, $Oy$ and $Oz$.

\begin{multicols}{4}
\psset{Decran=40,viewpoint=50 35 35 rtp2xyz,a=2,b=3,c=1}
\psset{unit=0.5,
  fcol= 0 (Apricot)
        1 (Lavender)
        2 (SkyBlue)
        3 (LimeGreen)
        4 (OliveGreen)
        5 (Yellow)
        6 (Bittersweet),
  object=parallelepiped}
