Examples
Here is an example of how to use setpos.
Sets the selected reference's height to 1000 units.
Overview
Moves the selected reference to an exact coordinate on a chosen axis, X, Y or Z. Raising the Z value lifts an object out of the floor, which can free a reference that has fallen through the world. It pairs with getpos for reading the current value first. Select the reference, then pass the axis and the new coordinate.
