Topic: How do you change the orientation of an object?

Hey guys
New 3d printer, first time.... I got the up! Mini printer.

My question is with the up software, how do I change the orientation of an object on the print bed.  I need an object that is laying flat to print upright.

Depends on what software you're using to slice... Does the UP! have it's own slicing and printing suite?

Re: How do you change the orientation of an object?

Thank you very much, thats what i was looking for just couldnt figure it out in the software.

Can I use a different program to print things?  I know some programs allow the objects to be altered, like adding parts, shaping etc, I think cube 3d software is like that? 

What do you guys use, or can u refer me to something somewhat user friendly?

Also is there a way to view the dimensions of the model in this current software?
