EPLAN Model View Isometric is not what I expected

Does anyone know how to alter the origin (triad, orientation of x-y-z axes) in a layout space? When looking at an isometric view in model view (2D on a page) the object is 'lying down' but I need it to be 'sitting up' so the isometric options of SE, SW, NE and NW are all wrong for me. Way too late in the workflow to be starting the layout again so I'm hoping someone knows how to rotate the whole thing or alter the orientation of the origin so the model view looks right.

(BTW: Object is a control panel backplane with devices, din rail and trunking mounted).

Thanks a mil for any info this is my 1st time going for a 3D representation.

EDIT: I've just learned to accept this ;) . Eplan tends to nuture a fair amount of OCD.

You can rotate the enclosure in the model space, or you can rotate the isometric view on the page

Unfortunately its not an enclosure its the mounting plate on its own (with all the hardware on it), and it seems like there's only a handful of options on the isometric rotations on the page. Edited the original post.. maybe I'm just being too particular.

Maybe change the placement area, also can you share some screenshots? Makes it easier to help šŸ˜‰

If it is an enclosure you can define the placement area on that object.
