Thank you very much for the detailed explanation Pat, we are now able to position and scale our VRML models (im working along with Andres who sent the question). Thank you also to you Utkarsh for the help. Just for the tip i finally downcasted to a vtkSMDoubleVectorProperty when calling GetProperty("Position") on the proxy.
