Large fan mesh won't stay in right spot

[Damascus]

I'm attempting to use the fan_round_large entity in my custom story, which has animations, but I'm trying to use it without animations. However, no matter what i do, though the body stays in the right place, the mesh appears at 0,0,0 on the map when I go into the game. Here's some of the things I've tried:

--Playing the "off" animation at the start of the level.
--Changing entity type to static object
--Removing all animations from entity

Maybe this is something the patch will fix, but so far I can't get the mesh to stay in the right spot.
