Coordinate system

[bhnizar]

Hello RFEM community,
I would like to know if it is possible to modify the direction of the global z-axis upwards.
In the same way, is it possible to modify the direction of the local axes upwards for structural elements such as members?
Could you please help me?

Hey @bhnizar,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Yes, it is possible with BaseSettings().

from RFEM.initModel import Model
from RFEM.enums import GlobalAxesOrientationType, LocalAxesOrientationType
from RFEM.baseSettings import BaseSettings

Model(True, 'Demo1')
BaseSettings(global_axes_orientation=GlobalAxesOrientationType.E_GLOBAL_AXES_ORIENTATION_ZUP, local_axes_orientation=LocalAxesOrientationType.E_LOCAL_AXES_ORIENTATION_ZUP)

I hope this will work for you.
