Maxwell and LightWave coordinate system

Hi all,

when exporting a scene to maxwell using the lightwave plugin, I notice that the top view within maxwell studio is a different one than within LightWave. I always have to rotate it (90 degrees) in order to match my north-south direction. Actually the rotation is not the problem in studio, but the camera setup, because I cannot rotate the camera together with the model. So it is nearly impossible to match the same camera position as it was before the rotation of the model. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi.
You can do this in LightWave before exporting. Create in LW a null, rotate it, put the mesh and the camera under it, then export to Maxwell. The cam and the model will be in good directions.
