Need help with axes
Hi
I have the following problem and wondered if anyone could help. The final goal is to export an object into 3ds file format with a specific axis convention, which is : -x to the right of the object, -y toward the front of the object, and -z up. But in AC3D, I can't seem to be able to change axis orientations which are by default : - x to the right - y up - z backward Is it possible to change axis orientations? Otherwise, is it possible to obtain a 3DS file with the correct orientation? thanks for any help Andy |

Andy,
There is an option at File->Settings->Files->3DS-Swap-YZ which is on by default - changing this might give you what you want. AC3D's axis are fixed and cannot be changed (y is always up) but you can reconfigure the views from Views->Configure-views, if you want to change the layout of the windows/views. |
