my wcs is bottom and my t plane is bottom.

Once again... It's always good to know what version your running.

Open the parameters for the toolpath and select "Planes". In there you can change the plane to whatever you want. You can also select your work offset.

Quick way
-select the ops you wish to change
-R click, edit selected items, edit common parameters, place check in "planes" and then click on "planes" button
-select new WCS, T/C planes and accept
-ops will dirty, and will need regen

NOTE-----check your paths carefully-----
tool will be wrong side, cutting wrong direction, depths will be from the bottom

There is no problem having WCS=bottom, T/C planes=bottom as mastercam sees this as your 1st set-up and will "internally" picture it as if the part was up-side-down ( aussie style ) as if you had programmed WCS=top, T/C=top
