    I hope this post can provide a useful hint to other users.

    I have a project where I need to move objects in a scene to arbitrary coordinates. I could not use animations. I wanted to use puzzles as much as possible, but there is no set_position operation block today.

    I was able to call the Three.js code from my puzzle move the objects to the proper coordinates. It was easy. Here is my function.

    	//Set the absolute positions of an array of objects to an absolute coordinate
        v3dApp.ExternalInterface.set_leg_pos = function(objs, x, y, z) {
    		for (var i = 0; i < objs.length; i++) {
    			var obj = v3dApp.scene.getObjectByName(objs).position.set(x, y, z);			
    		}
        };

    This function is called by a “call JS function” block.

    oops. My square bracket notation after “v3dApp.scene.getObjectByName(objs” was eaten by the forum’s parser.

    See screen shot for a better view of this code.

    This is cool. :good:
    Opening up the vast array of existing three.js features is an important part of Verge3D.

    implemented ‘set object transform’ puzzle; also ‘snap to object’ to do it without numbers
