I have just downloaded Shapr3D for the first time. To me “top” appears to be upside down. Am I missing something?

Do I need to delete and reinstall Shapr3D to correct the labels?

This is what my new workspace looks like ![IMG_0324](https://cdck-file-uploads-us1.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/2X/8/8afeff411e1e4c626deeeffb43e60400fc0ce4d4.jpeg)

Thanks for taking the time to reply roboticshobbyist. If I rotate the cube so that ‘top’ is the correct way up then the X and Y axes become negatives.

Open a new workspace, tap on the cube and select “top”, then you’ll find the problem.

Maybe I am talking solely about the word ‘Top’ being upside down. However I think that’s relevant. Or am I being a pedant?

Thanks man. Yep, that’s what I mean - I suppose i can just flip it in my head - just seems a little disorienting and without being too emphatic ‘wrong’. Anyway…Thanks for the input.
