for i in selection do

(p1 =getKnotPoint i 1 1

p2 =getKnotPoint i 1 2

dir = normalize (p2 - p1)

vec = case axis of

(

#x: obj.transform[1]

#y: obj.transform[2]

#z: obj.transform[3]

)

tm = i.transform

vec = normalize vec

rtm = angleaxis (acos (dot vec dir)) (normalize (cross dir vec))

i.transform = translate (rotate (scalematrix tm.scale) (tm.rotation*rtm)) tm.pos

(if pos == true do obj.pos = p1

)

Go into pivot mode and select axis. Press the Insert key on your keyboard to go into pivot mode. aboutallpet Then left click on the axis to align (it should turn yellow)
