Left-handed UCS

Hi,

 

I wanted to create a left-handed UCS, however it seems that Plant 3D only accepts right-handed UCS. Or am I overlooking something?

I want X towards North, Y towards East, and Z upwards. However when X and Y are correct Z is downwards, and whatever I try to rotate or flip the whole thing it keeps the UCS a right-handed system.

 

Thank you for any help or confirmation this is not possible.

I don't believe this is possible

Hey Steven,

All AutoCAD based products use the right hand rule to determine the positive side of the Z-axis. It is not possible to create a left handed UCS
