How to Fix Imported Mesh Rotation in Blender | Meshroom Photogrammetry Tutorial
In this Blender beginner tutorial, you’ll learn how to fix and straighten the rotation of imported 3D models, especially those created using Meshroom or other photogrammetry tools.
When importing scanned models into Blender, it’s common to encounter incorrect orientation, rotation issues, or misaligned geometry. This tutorial shows a simple and effective way to correct those problems so your model is properly aligned and ready for editing, animation, or further 3D work.

🧠 Why This Happens
Imported 3D scans often come in with incorrect axis orientation due to differences between software coordinate systems. Blender uses a different coordinate setup than many scanning tools, which results in models appearing rotated or misaligned.
This tutorial shows a fast, reliable way to fix that.
