Box Align to Frames Trouble

Hello, I'\

I'm having trouble orienting boxes to the proper frames/planes

The endpoints give mis oriented xy-planes, so when I try to align it to the planes made from radial guidelines, I feel that I'm missing a few steps to help align a series of planes with another series of planes.

Hello, again.

This approach would be better.

Well as Kim said ... but I've corrected the chaos (as it was) for educational purposes: a classic data mismatch here and there (in fact everywhere, he he). Added the Hocus/Pocus option for fun.

Notice the "unversed" ref planes tree (to tell you the truth ... initially I haven't checked that thing (BIG mistake) and when the C# failed (impossible) ... then I've checked the order of the ref planes branches ... etc etc).

Added a very simple C# thingy that does what the Orient thing does. The whole def it could be achieved with around 30 lines of C# code (with a myriad of other options).

best, Peter

that 15 minutes edit thing = awful (unversed = inversed)

The usual update (added some isolation option, for educational purposes). Of course this is also achievable with GH components ... but in complex definitions nothing beats code.
