As usual. I touch TS 7.51 and that was it with work :banana:

Create a plane. Then click at the Normalize Location Button. It doesn't normalize the location of the plane. It doesn't set its position at 0/0/0 as thought when you want to normalize location. It sets it with the corner to 0/0/0, not the center. And so the position is in my case 0.5/0.5/0

Same for all other primitives. It doesn't reset the axis position to zero. But uses a face or a corner to do so.

When i click at the show object axis button though, then click again to let them disappear, then at the normalize button, then it normalizes the position of the object to zero as it should.

it only happens on plane for me. but if you input 0,0,0 into object panel location it is normalized. think part of the normalize plane code is unfinished or not working right..yes it does work once axis has been shown once and closed. bug for sure

This has to do with the way TS7.5 uses pivot points during modeling. Clicking the Show Axis tool creates a pivot point and moves it to the axis position. This is different from how 6.6 handles it where the axis and pivot are the same.

Jack, this is a bug, the plane's axis or pivot doesnt normalize to 0,0,0 but the corner of the plane does go to 0,0,0 leaving the axis or pivot offset by exactly the amount of half the plane in x,y ;)
