Hi Rupesh,

You can do this by going to 'Edit | Edit Data | Unit Cell...' Click on the button marked 'Option...' and modify the transformation matrix.

To swap the b and c axes, for example, the matrix should read:

1 0 0

0 0 1

0 -1 0

(The minus sign is needed to maintain a right-handed coordinate system.)

Hope that helps,

Philip

Hi Philip,

Do you know if there's a possibility to attach an axis to a certain part of my object in Vesta? So when I move around, the axis of that part moves with it?

I hope you're still on this platform...

Thanks! Liesbet
