What are the odds of changing the three.js coordinate system to match Blender?
I have noticed if I use JavaScript to add in procedural lines, I need to exchange the Y and Z and then change polarity on the new Z.
For example:
new v3d.Vector3( -102, 219, -87 )
Needs to be:
new v3d.Vector3( -102, -87, -219 )
If you made the change in the three.js engine to match Blender, would it work with 3ds Max also?
I could also just write a for loop to swap the numbers around before rendering.

The current coordinate system in Verge3D follows the glTF standard, so unfortunately there is some inconvenience for application developers which we cannot overcome.

There are a couple ways to work around this. One is to just write a loop that converts the arrays but if you just need to convert a few coordinates, you can write a spreadsheet formula that converts the coordinates into a copy/paste friendly format.

Will,
I just ran into this issue. At first, I could not understand the behavior that I was seeing, but I remembered this post of yours. It was an easy fix after that.
Thanks,
Jem

BTW, we have an article in Verge3D Wiki which explains differences between coordinate systems used by Verge3D and various modelling suites.
