Frame is rotated

The camera image appears sideways, upside down, or mirrored.

If the camera is rotated

The simplest fix is to rotate the physical camera so the frame is upright.

You can also correct rotation in Beam Bench:

  1. Capture a current frame with Update Overlay.
  2. Click Adjust Overlay.
  3. Drag the handle above the frame until the bed has the correct orientation.
  4. Move and scale the frame as needed.
  5. Click Save Alignment.

Point-pair Camera Alignment can solve rotations as well, including 90-degree and 180-degree mounting positions.

If the frame is mirrored

The current transform does not support reflection. Reversing the alignment point order does not fix a true left-to-right mirror.

Disable mirroring in the camera driver, virtual-camera app, or operating-system camera setting. If the same camera is normal in the operating-system camera app but mirrored only in Beam Bench, submit a feedback report with screenshots from both apps.

Verify it worked

  • The bed has the expected orientation.
  • Several known points across the frame match the canvas after alignment.
  • Framing follows the intended physical boundary before a job starts.
