Object distorts when using translate tools
(a locomotive engine pump) and did a series of attaching and detaching and using patch modeling. When I go to move, scale or rotate the object, it distorts into a mess. I am sure nothing was grouped or parented. Any ideas on whats going on?
Thanks!

Also be sure that you clear history. If you perform nurbs operations like booleans, trims, cuts, fillets, etc and try to move the objects while they still have history they will go all wonky as well.
