Hi folks. Has anyone noticed that the min, max, & center values for
the Y and Z axis components of EXP_OBJ_EXTENTS (ExtInfo) are flipped?
I've tried this with several different types of objects and the miny,
maxy, and centery components are always exchanged with the minz,
maxz, and centerz components.
It's not a really big deal since I can always just switch the Y and Z
entries in my code but I was wondering if anyone else had run into
this.

Hi Danny,
The labels on the 3D editor display are user configurable inside the 3ds.set
file. Because of this, you can change your axis lables to anything. Internal
to 3D Studio, the axis are like this:
X axis is width
Y axis is depth
Z axis is height
The default axis in the 3ds.set file switch the Y and the Z. Regardless of
the axis labels,
the viewports will be constructed like this:
XZ, front/back views
XY, top/bottom views
YZ, left/right views
It's a little confusing. 🙂
Ciao,
