Mesh duplicate has wrong position?

I'm trying to duplicate a mesh and do some operations on it, but once I duplicate it, I have a wrong position on screen:


Where the left one is the original one, and the right one the duplicate. I don't know why, but the transform says that the position is 0,0,0, but the mesh is there!
This is my code for duplication:

Code (CSharp):

1.     void SplitMesh()
2.     {
3.         Mesh meshDuplicate = mesh;
4.         GameObject duplicate = new GameObject();
5.         duplicate.AddComponent<MeshFilter>();
6.         duplicate.AddComponent<MeshRenderer>();
7.         duplicate.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().material = gameObject.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().material;
8.         duplicate.GetComponent<MeshFilter>().mesh = meshDuplicate;
9.  
10.     }

What can I do?

 

I don't quite get the problem here. This line:

Code (CSharp):

1. Mesh meshDuplicate = mesh;

does NOT create a duplicate of the mesh at all. You're using the exact same mesh.
You haven't shown where the pivot of the original mesh is. How about selecting the original object? Because it looks like the vertices are just offset like this inside the mesh. In addition it looks like your other object is rotated 180° around y, but it's hard to tell from the image.

 

Hi there,

Why don't you compare the gameobject properties, and parent, child relations while running the game in the Editor? And go from there by reason about how it relates to any differences you notice, and what may cause it.
