How to change Y and Z axis of an existing model?

I found that I can change the Y and Z axis by going to Profile -> Preferences -> General and changing the Default modeling orientation. However, this only seems to apply to new models. I want to make this change to my current model. Does anyone know how to change the Y and Z axis of an existing model? https://omegle.onl/  https://xender.vip/ (Reason: when I export the model as an STL file and bring it into Prusa Slicer, the model is "sideways" and I have to flip it over in the slicer.)

Hi,

From my point of view there is no reason to change any axes for the transfer in the slicer.
In the slicer you define the face of the object that should be on the printing plate.

If you find you still would like to re-orient your model, the Align tool can snap your model using any face, vertex or face point to any origin plane or the origin point with ease.  The Align tool is under Modify menu in the Design Environment.

Attach your *.f3d file here if you can't figure it out.

You can also use Move (Rotate) which gives you a parametric history feature...
