DESCRIPTION: When importing a mesh created with Maya then saving, closing, and reopening the editor, if you add a LOD via the right mouse menu or mesh editor will result in the LOD importing -90 rotated.
Notes:
This only happens when using a mesh that has previously been loaded and saved and the project been closed and reopened. If all is imported and setup before the project is closed everything works as intended.
This was tested with 3Ds Max 2013 (Issue not present) and Maya 2014, and only Maya assets were causing the issue.
