Hello y’all… I’m experiencing a strange thing when I import or copy a shelf unit that a friend made for me. When I copy and paste in to my model, I get the mirror image. What is originally on the left side, is on the right after pasting. I tried importing the original Collada file also, and the same thing happens. I tried moving to the same screens and nothing works. Any thoughts or advice?? I’ve imported other things before and never had this happen. Thanks for your help…
