call glLoadIdentity(); before translating each time should work

life is unfair, take advantage of it.

Well, there are several ways to solve this problem...
One use glLoadIdentity() before drawing each object. the problem with this is that it also resest the rotation.
the second is to push the matrix draw the object the pop the matrix. this works good if you don''t have nested objects as theres no garuentee of the stack depth.
the third method works the best for me and will work great for nested and hirarcial object drawing. use glTranslatef() to translate to the center of drawing before drawing the object then use the negitives of the value to glTranslate to the previous postition afterwords.
A good exapmle of how this can be handy is if you have an object that is made up of 2 or more other objects...

void DrawObjectA(){
glTranslate(CenterOfA_X,CenterOfA_Y,CenterOfA_Z);
< Draw Object A >
glTranslate(-CenterOfA_X,-CenterOfA_Y,-CenterOfA_Z);
}

void DrawObjectB(){
glTranslate(CenterOfB_X,CenterOfB_Y,CenterOfB_Z);
< Draw Object B >
glTranslate(-CenterOfB_X,-CenterOfB_Y,-CenterOfB_Z);
}

void DrawObjectC(){
glTranslate(CenterOfC_X,CenterOfC_Y,CenterOfC_Z);
DrawObjectA();
DrawObjectB();
glTranslate(-CenterOfC_X,-CenterOfC_Y,-CenterOfC_Z);
}

Hope this didn''t confuse you too much!
