You can select the export coordinate system in the segmentation module, such as Ras or LPS. However, generally, the default LPS coordinate system is exported, and there will be no problem viewing it in other software. Maybe the problem is that your software uses other coordinate systems, so you need to manually rotate the model and export it after curing.
