Location Applied

Checks mesh objects whose normal Location is not zero. The automatic fix strategy is configurable: preserve the current origin/pivot by moving Location into Delta Location, use Blender's native Apply Location behavior, or require a manual fix. Animated or driver-controlled Location is protected from being overwritten under Preserve Pivot mode; this protection does not currently apply under Native Apply Location mode.

Warning Automatic fix: Yes Settings: Yes Selection: Object

Why this check exists

Non-zero object locations can create unexpected offsets in physics, simulations, modifiers, constraints, rigging, and downstream pipeline operations. Different productions may also have different requirements for preserving an object's existing origin/pivot.

Options

Option	Value	Description
Native Apply Location	`APPLY_LOCATION`	Use Blender's Object > Apply > Location behavior. Location becomes zero by baking translation into mesh data.
Preserve Pivot (Move to Delta)	`PRESERVE_PIVOT`	Move normal Location into Delta Location. Preserves the current world-space origin/pivot.
Manual Only	`MANUAL`	Report the issue but do not offer an automatic fix.
