I agree, very nice chooper. Can you add that to the LEGO group (http://www.3dvia.com/groups/group_home.php?groupId=71B15567794B5D6F)
thanks!

you should turn it
press middle button,then release it in “save new changes”
this should save it for the next open,where is in the position you saved it
to me never worked :)

Say, you mean in LegoCAD or which software?

In the 3DVIA Player, if you own the model, you can middle click on the surface that you want to be the bottom of the model, then while still holding the middle button down move over the “Repositioning” tool (at about 8:00 on the dial) and release the mouse button.

The model will then reposition itself and if you save that setting by holding down the middle mouse and moving over the “Save the current settings” tool (at about 9:00 on the dial) and release the button, then you and everyone else will now see the model the way you want.

If you don’t own the model you can still do this while viewing the model in the Player, but you can’t save the settings.

It’s very handy when your model comes in at an odd angle, but if you only have curved surface on the bottom of your model, it can be frustrating too.

Thank you, it should be OK now!

Sady2 to save the model, you must be using explorer.

I discovered this by accident. It’s the button on the mouse you use to scroll. You have to hold down the repositioning button.

dswavely is always the best at explaining that.

of course,he is one of the admins.but doesn’t mean he is the only who knows much-you can ask zaireeka also.
but 10x billy for explications(i am using opera right now)

he tomy, great instructions: I tried on one of my own models: http://www.3dvia.com/alfredix/models/C6CCABFCCEE0F2C4
do me a favour please, can you check if the model is now correctly oriented. It was also sort of flipped to the side a bit.
thanks.
if you see it in correct angle, then saving also works in FireFox :)
