# 15 - World Transform

Tao

## World Transform Group

This group allows movement and rotation of all paths and accompanying geometry in world space. It does not affect lights used for lightning or environment maps. However, it does affect all paths, including paths made with TAO Lights and the repeated paths made in the [Repeat Paths](https://help.maxon.net/rg/en-us/Content/html/10-Tao-repeat-paths.html.md) group.

**W Rotate Center** sets the center for the rotations by the **W Rotate X/Y/Z** properties.

**W Rotate X** rotates the Tao scene around the **W Rotate Center** along the x axis.

**W Rotate Y** rotates the Tao scene around the **W Rotate Center** along the y axis.

**W Rotate Z** rotates the Tao scene around the **W Rotate Center** along the z axis.

**W Position** allows you to reposition the geometry along the x, y, and z axes.

Note that this transformation is processed *after* the rotation properties in this group.
