swap local axis

Hello STKO Team,

In my model, some local axes are not aligned with the global axes. Is there a way or method to swap the local axes or change them so that they align with the global axes?

Thank you for your support.
Best regards.

There are the commands to create Rectangular/Cylindrical/Spherical local axes. You can assign them to geometries to change their orientation.

Of course in beams they can change only Y-Z local axes (X is constrained to be the tangent to the curve), and in shells only X-Y axes (Z is constrained to be normal to the surface).

If instead you want to reverse the X in beams or Z in shells, use the reverse command
