Probably a simple geo scaling problem fix

[virtual_gravity]

Hello all!
I'm using wrap deformers for my rig, low res poly on a higher res sub-d.
at the time of wrapping, it worked fine, but somewhere along the line, something caused my sub-d geo to scale up almost double in size.
when I uncheck inherits transform, the geo goes 1/2 size of what it's supposed to be.
I've gone right back to the beginning, deleting the sub-d, and all the wraps, duplicated the low res twice, deleted history, then cut up the first duplicated low res into my wrap pieces, then converted the other low res to sub-d, now when I wrap, it instantly makes the sub-d twice as big.
I just tried exporting my low res and opened it in a new empty scene, and if I uncheck inherits transform, it shrinks to half size.
I've never seen this happen on a geometry before.
I open in in the hypergraph input/output connections, and it shows the only connection is to the layer its in.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Its called a double transform. Usually what happens is your binding elements scale the object one time and then the transform of said object transforms it a second time.

You cant really spot it from connections you can only spot it form the data in the nodes. Theres about 600 classical variations of this problem, tough the actual amount f possible causes is unlimited. So its a bit hard to say what your exact problem is, just go over all your nodes critically.

I've never seen this happen on a geometry before.

Its a classic beginner problem, one hits this sooner or later allmost as sure as the sun rises. Ive seen this used as a interview tactic to check if people actually know what they claim they can.*

PS: This is by the way why smooth binding locks the transform the shape when you do the bind.

THanks again Joojaa.

Sorry, I should have said I've never seen this with a wrap deformer before.
I'm going to go through all the nodes again, and see if there is anything I can find.

Thanks so much for your input!

**update
I've looked at my scene, and the only inputs for my hires geo, and the wrap is the layer they're in.
They don't have any output nodes.
Could you suggest some tools or techniques to check out nodes of an object?
Thanks!

***update 2
I've just finished starting from scratch again, right from my lores geo, and I'm still getting the double transforms on my high res geo.
I understand where double transforms come from, and have handled other problems fine, but this time the high res and wraps are not parented under anything, and other than the wrap deforming the high res, are not bound to anything. when I check the deformation order, in the "all inputs" dialogue box, the hires geo has Wrap then Tweak, the wrap has transform Geometry, Blend Shape, Skin Cluster, Tweak.

From what I understand, the transform geometry is from the blend shapes on the wrap.
I've tried changing the settings without any effect.
I'm really stumped about this problem, and not sure even where to start looking for a solution.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Joojaa and all!
