How to change default Up-Direction in KeyShot?

[NigelL]

When I use the KeyShot-> Render option to export a model from GD to Keyshot, the model is always shown with the Y-Axis as the default "Up" direction. This results in all of my models landing up on their side in KeyShot since all my models have the Z-Axis as the Up-Direction.

One can rotate the model in KeyShot, but it would be great if there was a way to change the default Up-Direction in Keyshot. Anyone solved this?

Actually, the real solution would be to allow Geomagic Design users to define the axis that established the screen up direction!

I think you only have the option to choose an Up direction when importing a model.

There are so many programs using a common up direction that it makes more sense to make your models using the conventional "Y is up" orientation. I know SWX uses that, I ran into it when I had to use SWX to create an animated model, because GMD doesn't do that.

Actually SWX does not either, you need that module, just like GMD, but this was a fully-decked-out install, with every option possible at the time.
