      As already mentioned in the subject line: my complete SketchUp model (with many scenes, layers, styles etc.) has just turned out to be positioned upside down.

      I noticed that only now when switching on 'Shadows'. Can this be fixed by changing the coordinate system, or does the entire model have to be rotated, with the risk of losing, for example, viewing angles of scenes?

        I expect you'll have to rotate the model and turn it upright but without seeing it, it's only a guess.

        You can't change the "coordinate" system. You can realign the model axes but that doesn't have any affect on the ground and shadow projection.

          Thanks Dave, in that case I might just leave it as it is.
          I thought there might have been an easy way.
