(...) Could you transform the co-ordinate system so that one of it's axes is along the centre-line of the 4-4cyls (in the plane S0-S1-S2), rotate it about that axis so that the longest sise is in the plane, then transform the co-ord system back? (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Or maybe another way to look at it (got this from old lecture notes): Goal: rotate about arbitrary vector A by alpha Idea: we know how to rotate about X,Y,Z So, rotate about Y by beta until A lies in the YZ plane Then rotate about X by gamma (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Ooooops, I see now I was totally barking up the wrong tree, you need to WORK OUT the alpha angle, sorry. But transforming the co-ordinate system should still work. ROSCO (20 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) OK, here's my VERY LAST word on the subject: Transforming both 4-4cyls S0-S1 and vector S1-S2: Rotate about Y by beta until S0-S1 lies in the YZ plane Rotate about X by gamma until S0-S1 coincides with +Z Rotate about Z by delta until S1-S2 (...)
