    Greetings,
    I'm freshie on Unity. As you can see from the figure below, I am developing an AR application. There are few 3D objects I have imported, 1 of them have meshes(Is this what we call?). For now I need to create a function button from UI that can lets these meshes go to another position. Every single mesh will go to different position. Is this possible?

    I don't know how the button interacts with the 3D meshes....what script should I create and where to put them...Need some tips..

    I have some ideas like, putting script into mesh.
    If button = true
    then
    transform.position
    But how to recognize/define the button?

    Yes, it is possible.
    "myObject.transform.position = newPosition;"

    I suggets to read some GUI tutorials.

    Your button can either be a 3D object in the scene, or a UI object on a Canvas.
