Wouldn't it be nice to have a consistent switch or change when changing between y-up and z-up in the main settings? I encounter the same annoying procedure every now and then which should be very easy to fix.
Working for the automotive industry that is using z-up for all 3D virtual modeling purposes makes the workflow in Maya always a pain when working with characters, fluids, MASH, paint effects etc. sometimes these tools' presets are based on y-up, sometimes on z-up, sometimes they are easy to change, sometimes to change the up-axis is hidden in a particular tab not easy to find and so and so on.
I would highly appreciate a consistent choice of up-axis in the Maya Preferences, switching all related axis/ without transform/ flush transform etc.
