Summary0006554: Paintings face the wrong way in model chooser
DescriptionWhen choosing paintings in the model chooser, they face away from the mapper. This makes selecting skins for them very tedious as you have to rotate the model to see what the new skin looks like. On top of that, every time you select a new skin the model rotates back away from the mapper.

Apparently this is something to do with the origin of the model itself, so any solution would have to avoid changing that so existing missions would not get broken.
Steps To ReproduceOn any new map:

- right click and choose 'Create model...'
- choose models/darkmod/decorative/wall/painting01.lwo
- note the painting is facing away from the mapper
- rotate the model in the preview window so you can see the skin
- select a different skin
- note the model rotates back so it's facing away from you again and you need to rotate it again to see the new skin.
Additional InformationThis seems to affect all paintings except 'ornate_frame01.lwo'

The DarkRadiant issue here is that the orientation of models is being lost when you switch to a different model in the Model Chooser, which we should be able to fix.

Ensuring that models have the "correct" initial orientation is impossible because we have no idea what a model contains, or which part of it is the "correct" side. The only way to fix this would be either changing the model itself (a lot of work and it would break existing maps), or introducing some mechanism for content creators to tell DR which direction a model should be viewed from, e.g. with an additional config file in the model directory.

As of 0336f0a7d1b73723b058c55780715cd36224848d the rotation of the preview model is no longer reset when the skin is changed.
