Hi Håkon,
EMsoft uses the following convention for all crystal systems: e_1 || a and pointing east, and e_3 || c* (i.e., normal to the a-b plane). If you do note a rotation of 30°, it is possible that there is an issue with the orientation of the point group elements... Can you post the space group number for this case so I can check?
Thanks, Marc.

I'm asking because I'm toying with kinematical simulations in kikuchipy (docs https://kikuchipy--537.org.readthedocs.build/en/537/user_guide/kikuchi_pattern_simulations.html#Silicon-carbide-6H), where employ the crystal axes alignment |e1 || a| and |e3 || c*|, which I believe EMsoft throughout for stereographic projections. However, I end up with the strongest reflectors being rotated 30 degrees compared to EMsoft (a = red, b = green, c = blue)
Dynamical simulations in EMsoft with the same phase
Is the assumption that the alignments are the same wrong? If not, the difference might come from a wrong reflector list in kikuchipy (and/or the non-realistic kinematical intensities).

Thank you for the quick reply. OK, that is as expected (since you wrote it in your 2013 paper with Callahan).

This discrepancy has been resolved by a fix in the latest release of orix 0.12.0 (see the changelog https://orix.readthedocs.io/en/stable/changelog.html#id1). New kinematical simulations (using only about 400 reflections and not 900 as in the other simulation above):

I'm asking because I'm toying with kinematical simulations in kikuchipy (docs), where we align
e1 || a
ande3 || c*
, which I believe is used throughout EMsoft for stereographic projections. However, I end up with the strongest reflections being rotated 30 degrees compared to EMsoft, i.e., it looks likee1 || a*
