      It is said that cylindrical CS should match with axis of symmetric model, but even after rotating it doesn't match, why it is done ?

      Hi,
      After rotating the angular coordinate (y-axis), is matching with geomtery.

      Thanks,

      No, in mid of video, they have assigned a co-ordinate system for the symmetric plane, but this cylindrical coordinate system and symmetry plane assigned coordinate system didn't match
