Sketchup (.skp) to Morph to Object with unwanted rotation

Stress Co_ — Thu, 23 Jun 2016 05:15:08 GMT

This has been happening with a few of the objects I import from Sketchup.

I import the .skp object, convert it to a morph (to cleanup the 2D lines) and then save it as an object.

The saved object gets rotated, making it difficult to place square to my plan.

I tried adding hotspots, but it still rotates.

Anyone have the same problem?
Solutions?
Thanks

Are you saving from floorplan or 3D window?

Just tried it with a new "clean" file and
it worked fine.

Even though I "reset orientation"
(I was in a rotated, saved floor plan view)
in the original file.... it was the angle of the rotation... I think.

EDIT:
Figured it out.
The imported object's orientation aligns to project NORTH.

That was going to be the next question
