# - Orientations

## Orientation-Problems?

From time to time you might encounter "wrong" rotations of Objects. When it really is a misunderstanding of what will be exported.\
\
**AEC4D Pro will always export the global position, scale and rotation of your objects axis!**\
\
This is important, because the axis has nothing to do with the object nor point-information of the object itself. So make sure to align your axis before exporting.

If you have non moving Objects the Orientation should work as expected.

In general you just have to make sure to **use the following settings:**

## - Planes

{% hint style="info" %}
Set the **Orientation** to **'-Z'** to **guarantee** for correct behaviour.
{% endhint %}

## - Type-Objects

{% hint style="info" %}
Set the **Orientation** to **'XY'** to **guarantee** for correct behaviour.
{% endhint %}
