OBJ Import Flip ZY-axis

Anonymous — Thu, 01 Dec 2016 11:58:15 GMT

I try to import OBJ file in maxscript: importFile myFile.obj #noPrompt

How can I disable flipping ZY-axis. In Import dialog there is check-box "Flip ZY-axis". But I want to disable this option programmatically (in script).

Thanks in advance.

I am not sure if this option is exposed in maxscript.

You could do this via script after the object has been imported:

max select all -- select all objects
rotate selection 90 [0,1,0] -- rotate selection 90 degrees 'Y-Axis'
resetXForm selection -- reset xform (pivot)
collapseStack selection -- collapse stack / modifier list
