Changing orientation of model

[DebbieLee]

Hi,

I need to change the orientation of a 3d model so I can lay it on it’s back.

Not sure how to do this or if you can with current beta

I was wondering if something like this could be added?

ooo I like that. Seems very intuitive.

You can but its not intuitive at all. I posted a video of rotating over here.
You have to rotate and then swap the dimension from one data box to the other.

3D Prototype Update: model orientation and size

I see what you’re saying, BUT when the user changes the orientation to an orientation which results in a rotate (not a direct flip) then the appropriate size data should be automatically switched. It would be a lot more user intuitive for the software to do this when an applicable orientation change is made. Video more for others who’ve experienced this same issue with orientation changes… [ - YouTube] EDIT: This model is slightly crooked, BUT rotate does not rotate in the directi…

The rotate function in most slicers is very intuitive! I use Cura and the grab and rotate works just like in your video. Very hard to mess up. The ones in carveco and vecrtric have enough visuals that they make sense as well…
