How to change model environment origin?

I searched for and couldnt find anything on changing the base origin of the model environment. What am I missing? I accidentally selected the incorrect origin and completed a model. But when I go to cam mode my Z axis is coming from the Y because of my mistake. Using the move command just rotated/moved my model, not actually fix my problem. What do I do to have all my axis in the correct origin? 

 

Thanks

The model orentation isn't critical in cam. When you select setup, just switch the Orientation to something other than 'model orientation' You can then choose the orientation for your cam setup. This is particularly usefull when you have several setups with different orientations.

Around 5 mins in is where he starts talking about setting up the WCS for the CAM setup.

Thank you for the help. I understand now for the cam mode. Is it important to try to correct the drawing in the model environment? Its bugging the crap out of me.
