TRANS-ROT: Translate and Rotate

TRANS-ROT: Translate and Rotate

The Translate-rotate function requires the user to define a base triad and a target triad.

Each is defined by an origin node (O) a second node prescribing the X vector (Ox) and a third node lying in the XY plane (Oy). The appropriate Y and Z vectors are then found.

A translation vector of base origin node to target origin node and a set of rotations (base triad to target triad) have now been established.

This translation and rotation will then be applied to the select items.
