The type of the property is QTransform*, not QTransform -- pass a 
pointer to your QTransform object to setProperty. (Also, the name of the 
property is "frame", not "Transform".)

IOW:

Qt3DCore::QTransform *t = ...;
entity->setProperty("frame", t);

Another approach is exposing the QTransform to the QML engine (for 
instance via engine->setContextProperty("_myTransform", t)), then using 
_myTransform in QML:

Entity {
     components: [ _myTransform, ... ]
}


Hope this helps,
