I found an anomaly in exporting obj and stl files.  
Instead of respecting the horizontal plane, the files are exported rotated on a side.

 ![icons of exported files](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/3X/0/7/07e21ddf0aa7527a8bfdc0b72d422d08c6c5ae22.png)  
Is there any adjustment I need to make before exporting?

I don’t have the possibility to attach here the real files, because this platform doesn’t allow it, but already the icons created in the export, show the object rotated on a side.
