Hi Gidi,
Graphics is the head of 2D graphics, Graphics3D that of 3D graphics.
GraphicsComplex can be used inside 2 or 3D graphics to indicate points
by integers for simplicity.
Translate works for Graphics and Graphics3D as well, as the following
examples show:
Graphics[Translate[Circle[], {1, 1}], Axes -> True]
Graphics3D[Translate[Sphere[], {1, 1, 1}], Axes -> True]
hope this helps, Daniel
