Newbie Problems : All my models are 90 degrees off no matter what I do.

[Roarian2]

Hello all, I've been experimenting with getting basic parts to work so I know how to get them working in-game. First steps and all that.

For no apparent reason, even when I export a perfectly fine model from 3dsmax and make sure to have it set as Y-up (and with 'single matrix' off) when I import it into Unity and get it ready for KSP, it will always end up sideways in-game. Strangely, the attachment points seem to work just fine in their intended positions.

I've tried changing the transform settings in Unity to get it in proper position - no effect. I've tried changing it in 3dsmax - still sideways. I can't find any relevant stuff in the cfg either that could be doing it.

Please help this newb.

Do you have any objects parented in Unity? Could you post a screenshot of the object selected in the editor?

Sure - Here's what it looks like imported straight out of 3dsmax (just added the collision and parttools stuff.)

you may need to freeze transforms, in max i believe its xform modifier. Try that and export.

Since you want y up on your object in unity and in game, you can make it the child of an empty game object that has the y-axis up (zero out location and rotation). Then make that object a child of your parttools object for exporting.

Victory! This worked (somehow) to fix the orientation. I guess I'll use this method then unless I'm missing some really obvious mistake I'm making.

Thanks!
