Reset XForm Interaction Changes in 3ds Max 2024 Update

Goal: Determine whether applying the Reset XForm utility to objects that have animated Transform controllers preserves the existing animation curves or discards them, and understand how the operation affects the object's pivot position.

Constraints: The official documentation for Reset XForm in 3ds Max 2024 does not specify the fate of controller animation data when the utility is run, and user reports indicate varying pivot offsets that may depend on controller type (e.g., Position, Rotation, Scale) or the presence of layered controllers.

Uncertainty: Without clear guidance, it is unclear if the utility bakes the current transform into the object's pivot and leaves the controllers untouched, resets the controllers to zero while keeping the visual pose, or discards the controllers entirely, requiring manual re‑animation.

Specific questions:

• Does Reset XForm retain the original animation curves on Transform controllers, and if so, are they adjusted to compensate for the new pivot?
• If the controllers are modified or cleared, is there a way to preserve the animation automatically during the Reset XForm process?
• How does the utility behave with different controller types (e.g., float controllers, list controllers) regarding pivot offset and curve preservation?
