Flickering faces import IFC due to component axes

A quick one…not really tested, but it looks like is O.K :innocent:
No guarantee! Use your own risk!
Backup, Backup…

Follow the animation:

  • Select the desired components, groups or everything (Ctrl+A)
  • Open Ruby Console
  • Copy-Paste the code from below into Ruby Console
  • Hit Enter (Return)

The axis origin of selected components, groups will set to its bound left front bottom corner. Including all nested…
You can Undo it.
