Hi,
i have a special problem i couldnt solv yet.

I am creating models for the new AF5 SIM and tue to the physics and graphics is separated, i have to calculate the 3d AXIS for the graphics movable parts.

To get the needed information within AC3D is very easy, just select the line and get the size.

Ok, to get the best results the line should be 1 (m) long (unit circle) and now the problem occurs.
Tue to the movable parts are shorter i have to place the 2 point line exact through 2 Axis vertexes of this axis. I tried a lot of things but i never hit the necessary vertexes exactly.

Any ideas to get this done?
