KB 000653 | Changing Global Coordinate System Subsequently

Before creating a structural model, every user is giving thoughts to the boundary parameters of the system and how to best represent the model. Special attention should be paid to the orientation of the global coordinate system. In engineering, the global Z‑axis is usually oriented downwards (in the direction of the dead load), while it tends to be upwards in architecture. These differences can often lead to complications during modeling, for example, when you replace global models or DXF layers.
