ID 376792 - The proxy mesh item remains at the zero coordinates when creating the proxy as a Modo Scene and rendering the image.

Follow

Problem summary
The proxy mesh item remains at the zero coordinates when creating the proxy as a Modo Scene and rendering the image.

The item will correct itself to the proper position if modifying any type of transform on the proxy, even if only by 1 decimal. 

The issue will also occur when using other file types as a proxy, such as .dae.


Customer reported version
modo.n/a


Customer reported platform
Windows 10


Steps to reproduce:

1) From Modo, create a Sphere mesh item and move it away from the 0 coordinates.

2) Add a Square mesh item, moving it away from the 0 coordinates.

3) Right-click the Square mesh in the item bin and select Convert to Proxy.

4) Create a proxy file with an .lxo extension and save it.

5) Render the scene (F9) and view any objects in the frame.

Workaround
Use a different file type for the proxy, such as .FBX or .LWO.
