# Why does the modelling software show a different orientation compared to the top view in D5?

Reason: D5 uses Left-handed coordinate system while 3ds Max/SketchUp and some other software use a right-handed coordinate system, so there will be discrepancies between them.

Solution: It is suggested to**use the D5 Converter plugin to sync the top view perspective in modeling software.** This can make the top view effect be consistent with that in the modeling software.
