Default x,y,z planes

Is there a way to change the windows
so that the axes are different?

It isn't that critical, but I am used to another
program and I'm still learning this 3d stuff.

For instance, I'd like to put the left where the
front is, and the front where the left is.

Thanks in advance,


Jim

Sadly, there's not.

It's wreaking havoc with importing models into my sim, and working with others who use the familiar z=up and down, not front to back system.

:evil:

Is that right? I thought it was so basic and so hard-coded so as not to changable. At least, that was the impression I got.

That's great news!!!

Although the next release will have configurable views (e.g. front, back, bottom etc), the coordinate system will remain the same

Stig, when you import your planes into TW just make sure you model all your planes like normal then rotate them to the position you need for the game.

its pretty simple when you do more planes.

Yeah, I know... NOW....

but I have to say it's an annoying, and unnecessary thing to have to deal with.

Pffft, I haven't yet figured out the BIG trick of getting a model into TW in one piece, facing the proper direction yet.

One thing at a time.

I'm about ready to say "piss on it" and find someone else who wants to deal with that headache.
