Horizontal Z axis for Qtvcp ui was created by kostyadnepr

Hi everyone,Ho to make visualization of the tool path for machine with naturally horizontal Z axis?A would like to use it for surface grinder and possible horizontal milling machine. Those machines have XYZ axis, but Y is vertical and Z is horizontal. Is there any simple way how to rotate virtualisation?

Most UIs allow you to adjust the view direction.

Seems to suggest using the _view property in the handler code.

Here I modded to show a more lathe like perspective:
