No, not without trig and matrix multiplication. But you can always make a
module that represents the translations and rotations and apply it to
multiple children(). For example to place screws in a bracket that itself
has a complicated position.

Hi,

Is there an easy way to get the new coordinates of a point after a
few rotations and translations?

Thanks,
Maurice
