How do I fix the orientation of my uploaded asset?

If your asset is oriented strangely or the camera navigation feels unusual, the coordinate system needs adjusting. Open the asset and click on the Edit Mode button (

- Top Right). Then, within the right panel's Viewport > Coordinate System section, press the Y-up or Z-up buttons until your asset appears upright and the view navigation feels natural.

Once you're happy with the result, click the Save button (Save | Revert - Top Left) to preserve your Coordinate System change for future viewings of the asset.

Finally, click on the Set Starting View button (

- Top Center). This will ensure your asset thumbnail and initial camera view uses your corrected orientation.

Default View Variant: If the starred default variant has a saved camera position, the asset opens there instead of at the Starting View. This also applies when Base Settings is starred. If the default has no saved position, the Starting View is used. Manage these positions with the camera button in Manage View Variants; Set Starting View still updates the asset thumbnail. Viewpoint-specific links keep their linked viewpoint.

Note, in some extremely rare situations, you may need to adjust the Rotate X, Y, and Z sliders instead of using the Y-up, or Z-up buttons.
