      I'm placing a servo in a model and no matter what I do it only works along one axis....regardless of where I set the servo's axis.

      I have rebuilt all geometry around the servo and placed the servo on every angle imaginable and it still operates on an axis perpendicular to the one I want it to.

      Has anyone encountered this before?

          As is often the case with geometry errors in SP I exploded every bit of geometry within a certain radius of the problem joint (including geometry it was not attached to) and re-grouped it all. It took some time but the problem is solved...

          Thanks for the attempt to help Chri

          Note to anyone else with these kinds of problems - explode EVERYTHING to base level and regroup.
