Hello, I have my Z axis set as up in Houdini, and now when I export my .hdalc it comes in to UE4 rotated 90 degrees.

I cant seen to find an option in the export of the Asset or in the UE4 Plugins setting to fix this.

Having looked in the documentation I see there should be a setting for 'Geometry Scale and Import,' but this doesnt seem to be there now - v2 - https://www.sidefx.com/docs/unreal/_settings.html [www.sidefx.com]

Does anyone know the solution for this please?

I've always just left Houdini by it's default settings when exporting to Unreal. FBX export and meshes from HDAs automatically corrects for unreals coordinates.

I've been looking for a solution like this too. Currently our project cannot be default Y since it is set to Z up for our pipeline. Changing our project to Y for certain HDA's would only cause confusion since other artists use these tools. This would most likely have to be a setting changed with SideFX.

An alternative solution we have used is to place a transform with rotation set to 90 at the end of the network. Not the best way at the moment.
