Hello,
regarding your problems:
The example STL files you sent to us are OK but the vector data simply come with
the orientation you are complaining about. So it seems to be an issue of the
application exporting these files. STL file format itself does not provide a
global matrix/rotation/orientation information that could influence the whole
file and therefore rotate the 3D mesh globally.
Centering in XYZ and setting positions for 3D meshes will be added in next
version of BeamConstruct, which itself will be published within next few days.
Using them you can align an imported model easily.
Kind regards
Jim

HelloI have 2 problem's:
- when i try to import a STL file for slicing in BeamConstruct the orientation
is wrong (Z axis become Y axis, so i need to rotate every time 90 by X axis).
I tried with several STL files from different software's and even downloaded
from internet.
- Is very frustrate to center a sliced STL in BeamConstruct, i select "Show 3D
Mesh" so i can edit the geometry, but the "Center" buttons are disabled.
I
have to place it manually (the biggest problem with manual placing is on the Z
axis, there the bottom of the model need to be exact)
P.S. I spiked with Mr. Michael about too!!
Thank you!
