Hi all,Tried searching for this but nothing relevant came up, sorry if it has
been dealt with.I just started out with Scad and following the diy
tutorials.I got strange results with transformations at times, but I brushed
it aside and just modified my thinking. I have done 2D cad for decades, so
adapting to slightly different approaches comes natural.However I have now
positively identified that my version of Scad is swapping axis around, but
not in all instances.For instance if I resize, rotate or translate, [X,Y,Z]
are normal. But when I scale suddenly it is [X,Z,Y] which is confusing. In
the tutorial it is not this way so I am thinking I must have touched a
setting somewhere??????Anybody can help me out on this?openscad2019-05Linux

Works properly for me on 2019.05. Can you provide a sample program and
the output that you get?

Taking a wild-assed guess, I suspect that you are combining a rotate and
a scale, and not understanding that order matters.
rotate([0,90,0]) scale([1,1,3]) cylinder(h=3,r=3);
builds a cylinder, then scales it taller, then rotates it to lie along
the X axis.
On the other hand,
scale([1,1,3]) rotate([0,90,0]) cylinder(h=3,r=3);
builds a cylinder, then rotates it to lie along the X axis, then scales
it taller (which makes it elliptical).

rotate([0,90,0]) scale([1,1,3]) cylinder(h=3,r=3);

Thank you so much, this is indeed it. First rotating makes the axis
rotate with it, which I did not realise.
Thanks for helping out a newbie, thumbs up.

Thanks for your help, it got sorted. I rotated first which rotates the axis
also, something I should keep in mind.

Just remember that chained transformations operate from right to left, or
"inner to outer" nesting, if that helps.

Are you hitting F5 or F6 to view your results? Always use F6.
