How to change axis (Z = up) ?

[pascal_guillas]

Hi,

we use Navisworks 2012.

We generate NWD files with FBX sources files using API, but when users open files,

they have to select Home -> File option -> Orientation tab -> and select this values :

    Up : X:0 Y:0 Z:1

    North : X:-1 Y:0 Z:0

rather than :

    Up : X:0 Y:1 Z:0

    North : X:0 Y:0 Z:-1

for a correct oriented scene with Z axis up and North on X Axis.

We do not want to make rotations on axis, but we want to display the Navisworks axis according to our internal and usual coordinates system.

Is it possible to define this option with API code before saving NWD file ? or is there an option to set it by default in Navisworks 2012 ?

Thanks in advance,

Pascal Guillas.
