This has been an odd one. When I try to use Inverse Storage (ZYX) on the TBN vectors of a file I'm analyzing with Advanced mesh reaper: eXtreme Edition (AXE), it completely misreads the data. For example, if I were to tell it to read the highlighted vector data in the fifth column from the attached image, telling it to start at the offset 5E71 with byte data type, inverse storage, and a 20 byte stride, it will read the first set like normal - 81, 79, D4 - but then insist that all other following sets start with the last byte it processes of the first set, D4. So the Data Interpretation readout gives me this for Normals as described above: 0: -1.000000 0.952756 -0.346457 -> 2.027776 1: -0.346457 0.039370 0.149606 -> 0.143964 2: -0.346457 0.291339 0.795276 -> 0.837374 3: -0.346457 0.228346 -0.228346 -> 0.224316 4: -0.346457 0.795276 0.149606 -> 0.774878 5: -0.346457 0.228346 0.425197 -> 0.352967 6: -0.346457 0.448819 0.803150 -> 0.966520 This leaves me having to make a copy of the file and manually swap two bytes of every TBN vector just to try and test it in non-inverse form - a very time consuming task. And if I'm wrong about which three bytes of each set of four are the XYZ/ZYX of the vector, I'm going to have to do the swapping process all over again with different pairs of bytes. If it's worth anything, this is what the Digest with info about things like the bounding box says: 616 normals read. start address: 0x5e71 end address: 0x8e80 bounding: -1.000000 -1.000000 -1.007874 -0.346457 0.992126 1.000000 pivot: -0.673228 -0.003937 -0.003937 Do I need to manually set a bounding box based on data somewhere in the file? Or am I right that inverse storage is just bugged?

[Advanced Mesh Reaper: Extreme Edition] TBN data not being read right if I use Inverse Storage?

Apparently the data type is int10 (as you can notice the 1st byte is always smaller than 0x40):

That explains it! I wasn't familiar with what INT10 was so thank you so much!
