Bin mesh object orientation

Hello,
Every time I create a bin mesh object in 3dsmax I have to rotate it 90 degrees on Z to get it to match the scene orientation. Is this normal or am I missing something?
Thank you.

Did you check your axis orientation? I assume it's set to RF's default setup. To change it, go to
Preferences > General > Axis setup > ZXY (3dsmax, maya)
Cheers,
Thomas

Thank you tsn,
Yes I have the axis orientation set to ZXY (3dsmax, maya)
That is why I'm finding it odd I always have to rotate the mesh in max.
I made a quick test with a teapot oriented to the front view and as you can see in this screen shot
http://www.hamercado.com/realflow/orientation.jpg when I create the BIN mesh object it is oriented from the left side so I always need to rotate to 90 on Z to match my scene orientation.
Am I still missing something?
Thanks.

Well, in this case I think it's a plugin error. I'm on C4D so I can't test it, but I'll ask my colleague Luis to take a look at. He's our 3DS specialist.
Thanks for reporting that!

Hey,
Yeah, that's normal. Meshes are always rotated 90ยบ in 3dsmax when importing. It is because of 3dsmax plugin and not a bug when exporting from RealFlow. We are checking this but it will be necessary to rotate the imported mesh for now.
