How can you change axes to object?

Hi,

I would like to ask how can I change object's axes so that my custom object would move as it is expected. This means to drive forward to a destination point not by the side as it is in the attached model?

Would anyone know?

Thank you.

Martin

Well, thank you for you answer, but is it possible to adjust it in flexSim? It requires only the axes change.

Jorg has provided the list that explains how to do that - it;s in the shape factors area of the visual properties.

But if you've created this it's much simpler to change it in the original tool or another external tool, rotate it and then load into FlexSim. The import process will change the size of the object for you in most instances and you don't have to think about scale and axes/direction.
