First sequence for make any faces or objects to be parallal (who have themselves 3 rotations in the space! )

the Line-line + helpers line are sufficient

The 2 objects have now parallal base's faces!



Second sequence for past anywhere Base / base faces' objects
Now the objects will be perpendicular / Base/base with any orientation wanted
(mouse must on the face or parameter of the Base's target object! )



I will send in a moment the result with your object! ;)

Ps the little "cutting square" on the yellow object is not 90° so perspective error can be seems exist! ;)

Hi Pilou, ok but the point is that you can't do just one use of line/line for those situations. For 3D placement the main orient tool is easier and quicker.

Line/line does work well and efficiently when you use it on 2D shapes all in the same plane which is what it was designed to be used for.

Cool ! I was affraid that I miss something...

Yes the classic Orient tool is very good and quicker but a little intimidating with
the 4 different combinaisons of cases to check or not!
And the rotation of the axes themselves is a little tricky! ;)

For my part Line-line seems to me more funny (if possible) and can Scale in the same time!
And the use of the Helper Lines add to the pleasure to use it! :)

And I love to use functions for other things that they are made for! ;)

Hi Bravlin, there is a list of all command names in the Shortcut Keys section of the help file here:

The particular ones you're looking for are Orient and OrientLinetoLine .
