if you have a structure

> push / translate / rotate / scale / draw\_object() / pop

there is a way to know exactly where it is,  
if you save that info with:

> push / translate / rotate / scale / draw\_object()

```auto
  float jx = modelX(0, 0, 0);
  float jy = modelY(0, 0, 0);
  float jz = modelZ(0, 0, 0);

```

> pop

now can use that jx,jy,jz  
like for a collision…
