So would you guys please tell me (or lead me in the right direction) to change the model size, location, scale, etc

After looking around i found
irr::scene::IMeshManipulator
but I don't know how to use it.

Any help? Any Advice?

node->setPosition();
node->setScale();
node->setRotation();

that should be all

Thank you so much!
I got it to work in the fx example

Will the bold part always be like that (and what does it mean)

anode->setScale(core::vector3df(20,20,2));

Thanks for your time!

The "bold" parts mean you`re using already defined type, class etc. The "::" means you`re using some namespace in this case you`re using typedef, which is active in the "core::" namespace. the "core::" namespace is part of the "irr::" namespace, but you have called "using namespace irr;" somewhere, so you don`t have to write it every time. Calling "using namespace core;" will let you call
"anode->setScale(vector3df(20,20,2));", because this way when the app reads "vector3df" is says:"Ah, I know that! It`s part of the irr::core namespace" and go on. Here`s one useful link, which has many easy-to-understand C++ tutorials:
