          Normally, when you get/set the position of an object, you actually get/set the position of the object's *center of mass*. In most cases this is enough, but when the object's center of mass *isn't the same as its geometrical position*, and you want to locate it (or locate something in it) geometrically, just "getting its position" won't cut it.

Almost similarly, to set the geometrical position of the object, set the actual position of the object to the desired position subtracted by the offset.

By extension, to set the geometric position of the object, set the actual position of the object to the desired position subtracted by the offset.

I just discovered "geometrical" is not a word
