In one shape layer could be a lot of nested groups with different transform values. It occurs a lot of bugs and issues with expressions. So we provide the Reset tool that tries resetting all position, scale, and rotation values to 0. Also, it resets the position of path points depending on the layer's Anchor Point.

After exporting shapes from Illustrator and extracting or merging shapes, inside the transform groups could be a mess. Offset values in the nested groups could affect a lot of extension functions.
For example here is the applying Path Bend function.
The actual point position relative to the layer's center can be anywhere.
Applying Reset Shape will reset all nested positions of the groups and put points in the right place. So every script would work properly.
In the interface, the Reset Shape button works in two modes:
Click - Reset all nested shape properties.
