Orientations

Orientation-Problems?

From time to time you might encounter “wrong” rotations of Objects — usually it’s a misunderstanding of what actually gets exported:

AEC4D-PRO always exports the global position, scale and rotation of your object’s axis!

The axis has nothing to do with the object itself nor its point-information. So make sure to align your axis before exporting. Non-moving Objects should always behave as expected.

For everything else, stick to these two rules:

Planes

Set the Orientation to ‘-Z’ to guarantee correct behaviour.

Type-Objects

Set the Orientation to ‘XY’ to guarantee correct behaviour.
