Align Pivot to Direction
Version:
1.3
Date Updated:
03/13/2019 Align Pivot to DIrection(vector) allows you to align the X, Y,Z or XYZ axis of the local pivot of each of the selected objects to the direction(vector), defined by two picked in the scene points. SNAP will be turned ON automatically. If the Shift key is down when the axis is choosen the pivot will be moved to the first picked point.
Version 1.1 should works properly with Pen(tablets).
Version 1.2 - Align To XYZ axis added. You should pick 6 points to define the three axes. Points 1 and 2 define the X axis, points 3 and 4 define the Y axis, points 5 and 6 define the Z axis
Version 1.3 - fixed bug in 3ds Max 2019.3

Hi,
I love these simple scripts but this one has gone and broke in the latest version of 3ds Max 2019.
The pivot still aligns but the preview doesn't work so it's impossible to tell what the cursor is selecting or snapping to for the alignment. (The preview still works fine in the Object to Direction script)
Can this be fixed?

If your object is scaled at subobject level then the object will moves. Applying resetXForm will sove the problem. And because of problems like this(andnot only) the golden rule is to not scale objects at subobject level.

issue confirmed
Hi miauu, thanks for the awesome script first of all.
Unfortunatly, i also often run into the issue "appius" already reported (that the geo moves slightly, when only the pivot should change). I can not confirm that applying Xform does change this.
