Reset XForms: Why & How? 🔄

📌 Why Use Reset XForms?

1️⃣ Zeroes out transformations – Resets rotation, scale, and position back to 0 and 100% respectively.
2️⃣ Fixes local coordinate issues – Ensures the object's local axes align to the world coordinates.
4️⃣ Prevents modifier issues – Avoids deformations in symmetry, bend, or other modifiers.

🟢 Tip: Some objects such as screws, bolts, nuts and other off angle objects that will be rotating when moving should not have their XForms reset.

📖 How to Reset XForms

1️⃣ Select the object(s) you want to reset.
2️⃣ Go to the Utilities Panel (Wrench Icon).
3️⃣ Click Reset XForm > Reset Selected.
4️⃣ Check the Modify Panel – You'll see a new "Reset XForm" modifier on top of the stack.
5️⃣ Collapse the stack (Right-click > Convert to Editable Poly).

⚠️ Important Notes:

✅ Always check for need of resetting XForms before exporting models.
