Prep Your Model For Delivery

*Note: Depending on where and who you are prepping the files for, might vary on how you setup your model.

– Select everything and Delete it’s history
– Freeze your Transformations Depending if you moved a piece to a certain position will decide whether or not if you want to Freeze Transformations
– Reposition your model above the Grid so it’s sitting on 0 axis
– Reposition the pivot of the model so it’s at 0,0.
– Freeze Transformations
(Now when you bring in this model into the scene, it will sit on the 0,0 axis)
