Importing geometry from Maya - Can't see Mesh

Hello, i've been testing using RC with Maya.

So far, I've built a test model in RC.

I've exported this as an FBX.

I wanted to test cleanup geometry created in maya, so, for the moment have added a simple cube to my scene.

I re-saved it from Maya as FBX and loaded into RC (Import mesh)

I can see the cube shape listed in as a component with 12 triangles, however I cannot see the shape in the 3D viewport. 

How can I fix this? I've tried numerous import / exports as OBJ , FBX but no results.

Many thanks in advance.

  ok.. so seems the mesh can be seen, but is massively offset. Seems to be an axis issue.

  The model which is imported from reality capture has Y,Z rotations of 90 and -90.

  Any clues?

  Hello Matt,

  this could be an issue with different standards among software. RC considers Z axis as "up" while Maya expects Y up. Try to change axis orientation manually.
