Animation defaults to (0,0,0)

Unity Engine

Hi,
Would really really appreciate some help on this one!
I’ve done some simple animation with a sphere (modelled in Maya). When I save this within the Unity folder asset hierarchy everything is imported fine - the texture file, the mesh, the animation sequence. However, when I place this within the scene and enable the animation, the sphere defaults to position (0,0,0) and plays the animation from there! Arghhh! When I disable the animation, the sphere is position as intended and moves as intended - as soon as I enable the animation it appears at (0,0,0). I’ve checked that the model is in world space. I’m sure it’s something simple!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Found the answer from unity UnityAnswers - http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/12450/how-to-make-an-animation-follow-the-target

Just needed to parent the animated object to an empty GameObject!
