@chim It's deprecated in favor of PrimaryPart Because PrimaryPart solves everything you needed that method for :P

Primary part acts nothing like it, it is used for completely different things. I script -~ chimmihc

Get the center of the model without placing an invisible part there just for that purpose. I script -~ chimmihc

It may be meant for that but it doesn't do that.

You have to figure out the exact extents of the model to get the size and position right, any changes means resizing and repositioning the primary part. A lot more work then simply model:GetModelCFrame(). I script -~ chimmihc
