Axle Finder

Hi All. So here's an interesting one. I found whilst placing twist joints in my character's forearms that it can be quite a task finding the correct rotation for the joint so that the twist looks natural and is on the correct axis. This problem reared its head again when I had to add a throttle twist attribute to the motorbike rig in our film as the geo had its transforms frozen.

So I wrote a little something something that would find the center axle for me and spit out a locator for me to use. All it takes is selecting two edges on either side of the object and hit go!


Hope this helps someone save some time somewhere :)
