Can the origin be reoriented? EX: Y becomes Z & Z becomes Y.

Hi @kathi.randy,

 

Welcome to the Fusion community! As far as I know, Fusion doesn't allow you to change the Z to Y or vice versa but you can set the current view as Top or Front from the view cube. Also, in the Preference, you can set the default modeling orientation. 

 

Or you can use the Move command to reorient models instead.

 

I hope this information helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you. Very helpful.

I will move the object to the orientation I need. This is a 3D print project. I'd like it to be in the correct position when the STL is brought into the slic3r (R) software.

 

my CAD background is Creo so I'm use to a more structured environment. I am super interested and pleased with Fusion 360 so far.
