Not sure why it is doing this, but every time I convert a corona scatter to geometry (in order to export the scatter pattern as an FBX), it shifts all objects a tad bit.

I've tried adjusting all instanced object pivot points. I've tried cleaning up normals on distribute-on object. Can't seem to find a reason why this would happen. Help!

Images attached of simplified example using a cylinder as a distribute-in object and a modified tea-pot, box and sphere as instanced objects.

Did you try to reset transforms of instanced objects?

By resetting transforms you mean the Reset Xform option? I don't see why this would be necessary. Will definitely look into it.

For me resetting transforms is a second nature. I don't question why it helps, i just know that it does and i do resetting whenever i can :]

Hmm, I still can't reproduce this. The generated geometry always perfectly overlaps with the scatter. If there is any easy way to reproduce it, please let me know.
