Position is not a valid member of Model?

Hello, the issue is on line 27 and despite it being a part it keeps returning the error "Position is not a valid member of Model".

I'm trying to make a auto-generating track.

Problem Code:

1    newMiddle.Position = Vector3.new(mainMiddle.Middle.Size.X/2,0,0) 
2+ middle.Finish.Position
3-- And its the " Vector3.new(mainMiddle.Middle.Size.X/2,0,0) " part

01local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
02local mapsFolder = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Maps")
03local maps = mapsFolder:GetChildren()
04 
05local lobby = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Lobby").Lobby
06 
07maxLength = 10
08local mainMiddle = mapsFolder.Middle
09 
10 
11for i = 1, maxLength do
12    local middle = mapsFolder.Middle:Clone()
13    middle.PrimaryPart = middle.Start
14    middle.Parent = game.Workspace.Track
15    middle.Finish.Transparency = 1
16 
17    local nextMiddle = game.Workspace.Track:FindFirstChild("Middle2")
18    if nextMiddle == nil then
19        local newPosition = Vector3.new(lobby.Size.X/2,0,0) + lobby.Position
20        middle:MoveTo(newPosition)
21    else
22        local theMiddle = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("Middle"..i-1)
23        local newPosition = Vector3.new(theMiddle.Size.X/2,0,0) + theMiddle.Position
24        middle:MoveTo(newPosition)
25    end
26 
27    local newMiddle = mainMiddle:Clone()
28    wait(1)
29    newMiddle.Position = Vector3.new(mainMiddle.Middle.Size.X/2,0,0) + middle.Finish.Position
30    newMiddle.Parent = game.Workspace.Track
31    newMiddle.Name = "Middle"..i
32end

The reason is because Models don't have the position property RazzyPlayz 497 — 4y

You can't set the position of a model. aadenboy 17 — 4y

You can however use :SetPrimaryPartPosition with the model's priary part to make it move CreationNation1 459 — 4y

Model doesn't have a Position property.

The only way to find a position of a model is model:GetPrimaryPartCFrame(), but it’s not returning a centre of a model, and you have to set primary part of a model (a part with “RootPart” in its name is a primary part of a model by default).

Please provide explanation with your answers. Simply posting code does not spread knowledge of integral scripting processes which helps people understand the logic and reasoning behind your answer.

Use

`1`	`Model:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(pos))`

Position is not a valid member of Model?
