Rotates your top view to your selection. Go to top view, select 1 edge or 2 verts, run the script (and switch to coordinate system "screen" if you like). Click once to align horizontal, click again to align vertical. Good for architectural modeling with non-orthogonal walls.

 

Additional Info: 

Drag and drop the file into the viewport for install. Category: # Scripts

Should work with Editable Poly Object, Edit Poly Modifier, Editable Mesh Object, Edit Mesh Modifier.

Cool script.

One suggestion, or better yet, feature:

It is possible to rotate the object to world space by selecting the rotated face? Like in your example the face would point to +Y. If yes, could you make a script that does that? :)

Just a thought :)
