[MSCE C#] how to set Global Origin

Question

hi 
 I am trying to place an element in C# Addin .Net, but since the default global origin of the seed file is not (0,0,0). I am unable to place the element at the correct coordinates. I tried to change the global origin with this code, but it didn't work. Could anyone help me with this problem? 
 Thanks 
 DgnModel dgnModel = Session.Instance.GetActiveDgnModel();
dgnModelRef.GetModelInfo().GlobalOrigin.Set(0,0,0);
dgnModel.SaveModelSettings();

Hi Nina, 
 at first, please be aware you choose general Developers and Programming forum, but your question is about MicroStation, so I recommend to move the question to MicroStation Programming forum . To move existing discussion to another forum, use More > Move tool, available under your original post.

 Where exactly global origin causes the problem?

 I think it is expected result. From GetModelInfo documentation (in C++ API documentation): 
 To modify the modelinfo you must create a copy of the returned one, modify it, and call 
SetModelInfo () with the changed version.
