Its just not a solution for the problem. Of course is rotating the single models before exporting going to "fix" the problem in WED. I could also rotate the models in MED or in WED by 90 degrees.

But either I have to manipulate the mdl files orientation (leaning left instead of standing upwards) or the WED layout of the single models by faking Z as up when exporting and Y as up when placing. The 270degree rotate in WED when importing does not make sense to me.

I think this could be solved very easy by adding a rotate option to the WED importer or a "pick axis system"....
