Model animation: Helping Santa Claus

Happy holidays every one! I'm trying to improve my animation skills through this simple model. I got the Santa cart and another 3D objects from https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/ . When I changed the skin of Santa sleigh it was reversed. How to correct that? Can you help? One last thing, is there a way to change the operator skin. HelpSanta.fsm elf.skp

Adjust the "shape factors" until the rotation and location of the shape fir the bounding box (start by rotating around the z-axis by 180°, then adjust the location).

As for changing the operator's "skin" (I presume you mean single bits of clothing etc.):

The options available to the "staff/patient" type operator are all part of the single fbx file I think. So changing those will be next to impossible. The parts of the basic operator are stored as separate files in (fs3d/Operator/Basic Operator). So in theory you might be able to replace those, but that would required knowledge of how exactly they are each used.

So in short: No, if you don't want to model and rig your own custom operator.
