Consider:  
[https://processing.org/reference/modelX\_.html](https://processing.org/reference/modelX_.html)

Add this snippet to code (from above) and observe:

```auto
  // draw another box at the same (x, y, z) coordinate as the other
  pushMatrix();
  translate(x, y, z);
  stroke(255, 0, 0);
  box(50);
  println("1:", x, y, z);
  popMatrix();
  println("2:", x, y, z);
  stroke(255, 255, 0);
  strokeWeight(10);
  point(x, y, z);
  strokeWeight(1);
}

```

Tell us more.

I never used modelX() so this will be useful for me!
