How to fix "Messed up/Broken" Models!

Hey all! Have you ever had a model (Take the heavy up there for example.) that has broken or messed its self up? Well look no further, I will explain how to fix it!

Here are the steps!

First of all, I would like to thank Zappy! for helping me fix this problem! All credit goes towards Zappy! http://steamcommunity.com/id/ZwipZwapZapony

1. Firstly, load up your SFM Project and select the model that is broken.

2. Secondly, right click on the broken model in the animation set and hover your mouse over utilities.

3. Thirdly, select "Reattach to Model", and your model should be fixed!

I used this on the sentry models in the Meet the Engineer session but it removes all the animations

This guide is a lifesaver! I didn't know how to deal with this particular bug, long enough to incorporate the weird glitch into one of my SFM animations lmao! But it started showing up in some of my other projects so I had to find some way. Thanks for making it so easy, damn 😅🙏

Thanks for this tutorial, you've saved me the trouble to do everything from scratch.
Had to do it after I've updated a model I've used on a past project.
However I had to also "reset" the model pose by importing its default sequence to finally fix it.

I know this is a VERY old thread, But I attempted to do this, And my model is still all broken.

Here's a video showing the broken stuff
