So I’m trying out the new collection instancing and I want to add an instance of the nut I have selected here, to the place where the 3d cursor is set. As shown in the “cool things about collections” video by Ethan , you simply create a new collection , add whatever object you wish to instance into the collection and then use add – collection instance in object mode and choose the collection. You will then have an instance of the object(s) in that collection in the 3dvp.
This works to an extent, but you can see below , that the empty for the instance is placed on the 3d cursor as I want it to , but the actual nut object is miles away , floating in space. I have tried the usuals : applying all transforms , and you can see that the nuts origin is centered in the geometry , I have even tried setting the origin to 0,0,0 but neither work. Any ideas anyone?
