IVA Issues and Questions: Unity IVA Orientation, Portrait Camera, Funky Scaling

[cxg2827]

Ive been messing around with my IVA, but I keep having some issues with the orientation. No matter how I orient the IVA inside Unity, it always keeps it sideways in the game. Also, it looks like the IVA is being scaled down, even though my rescale factor for the exterior model is set to 1. If you check the picture below, the circled yellow handrails are huge compared to what they should be.

Any ideas on this? Does my hierarchy in Unity look ok?

also, how do the portrait cameras need to be oriented in the internal model? it seems that portrait cameras default to a specific distance and location with respect to each kerbal transform in the IVA model. So are empties for the portrait cameras required?

INTERNAL
{
  name = 3MInternal

  MODULE
  {
    name = InternalSeat
    seatTransformName = GalleySeat
    allowCrewHelmet = false
    portraitCameraName = cameraPilot
  }

  MODULE
  {
    name = InternalSeat
    allowCrewHelmet = false
    seatTransformName = QuartersSeat
    portraitCameraName = cameraPassenger0
  }

  MODULE
  {
    name = InternalSeat
    seatTransformName = ScienceSeat
    allowCrewHelmet = false
    portraitCameraName = cameraPassenger1
  }


}

Hi, diifficult to work out the orientation from the pic But if that visible transform is the origin/pivot for your interior then it's completely different to the way i set up my IVA's

I've moved the exterior from over the interior for clarity of view you can clearly see the alignment, this alignment is set before importing to unity.

AS for the internal camera transforms I dont use them as i found that it didnt matter where i put them the camera's always at the same distance, it may have been a requirement of earlier releases but it now works quite well without them

INTERNAL
{
	name = DockPodInternal
	MODULE
	{
		name = InternalSeat
		seatTransformName = Seat1
		allowCrewHelmet = false
	}
	MODULE
	{
		name = InternalSeat
		seatTransformName = Seat2
		allowCrewHelmet = false
	}
	MODULE
	{
		name = InternalSeat
		seatTransformName = Seat3
		allowCrewHelmet = false
	}
	MODULE
	{
		name = InternalCameraSwitch
		colliderTransformName = Window1FocusPoint
		cameraTransformName = Window1EyeTransform
	} etc etc 

Gets you this

here is a better picture of the orientation. I want it so that the model is upright when brought into the game, and so the Navball faces up. The first pictures shows how the orientation is prior to flipping it. the upper level galley table is closer to the front window, and above where the airlock is.

Taking your picture, I tipped it back 90 degrees, and then rotated it 180. but in game it still does the same.

does Y have to be up in the IVA and Z backwards? do i need to flip the exterior model, or will that cause the navball orientation to be horizontal instead of vertical?

Ok, I realized my issue.

I was rotating the model via the empty game object, rather than the imported IVA model. I zero'ed out the Internal Model game object, and rotated the model instead. Now its oriented properly.

Thanks for the help SpannerMonkey!
