What arcRotateCamera shows is determined by angles, alpha, beta and the radius from a target point.

When you position the camera you are changing the alpha, beta and radius.

In your PG the camera is along the negative z axis to filp change to positive z axis

Thank you @JohnK for the fast response  
I need an additional suggestion  
I adjust my arc rotate camera on the positive coordinate,  
I want to add a rotation slider to rotate the imported mesh left and right with 0 in the center position  
But It seems that the right and left are not accurate with the slider , if I move the slider to the right , the imported mesh rotate to the left  
Any Idea ?  
Thank you

Just change the slider value as

```auto
        if (skull) {
            skull.rotation.y = value*(-1);
        }

```
