I've done the edit, but I'm not sure I'm getting the right results (or what I'm expecting to see).
For example, I have an aileron on an aircraft.
It's on a wing with a 5 degree dihedral (so this is known, and confirmed by actually rotating the part "flat" in AC3D from the vertice). But, if I select two leading top edges of the aileron (to use as the "hinge"), click
Set axis, then cut and paste the results into a Notepad, I get:
0.995928 0.00242298 -0.0901201 (I'm assuming this is in X,Y,Z order)
None of these values is anywhere near 5 degrees (presumably this should be in the Y (nose to tail axis). The first value is basically one degree, the others are very close to "straight", as is indicated by the position of the part.
Also, when I click the
Set Axis button, the message I get at the bottom of the screen is "Got axis from vertices OK". I'd much rather just see the numeric values... does this mean I don't want to use the code snippet for "copy and paste" onto the clipboard? What I'd like in the end is to see the values when I hit the Set Axis button, and then be able to copy-and-paste the results into a different application or a Wordpad document.
