Fusion - Reference orientation for mesh generation

[felix.wienker]

For some bodies, the orientation of the sketch seems to impact the mesh quality:

A) Sketch created in YZ plane and revolved around Y axis:

• When exporting the body as mesh, this results in a very non-uniform mesh.
• Mesh hotspots with high density are very visible in 3D print. 
• Very high triangle count in mesh export needed for good results.

B) Same sketch created in XZ plane and revolved around Z:

• Mesh export leads to a uniform mesh, even with lower triangle count.

Is it possible to define a reference orientation for mesh generation or "save as mesh" to optimize the mesh alignment?
