I created a scen in max8, and in the ofusion view, some of my geometry ist messed up, and wrongly oriented. I allready made a reset xform, which changed the direction of the objects sometimes, but not in the right direction.
What am i missing here?
Cheers

probably you´ve your objets grouped, when you´ve groups, the objtes contained in groups are moved to a wrong position, this could be what is happening to your scene. I think that in the next CE edition will support groups.

Also another thing that may be happening but I see more difficult is that you have helpers that are causing you problems.
Go to "select by name" check only helpers checkbox and delete them all

and good luck

hmmmm, no, i have no groups made, and no helpers which could cause this. It has something to do with the orientation of the pivots and the general axis of these objects. If i reorient the pivot, i can get it to work, but the orientation in the max viewport and the orge viewpoint is different in that cases. By the way, my ogre viewport is not really well working. It is not updating properly and aside from the messed up orientation, some objects dont even show up!
