Oh, wait a minute! Have you defined your work area in Bryce and saved it to "default.br5"? If you haven't, you can rotate your work space so that when you bring in an object its x,y,z coordinates lines up with your field of view x,y,z coordinate everytime you start Bryce. You then save this setup as your "default" setup saved in Bryce's root directory. Is this what you mean?
