Orient Joint Tool

Hey Guys!

Today Landon mentioned the orient joint tool and I did a little testing. Up to this point I have been using a locator and aim constraints to orient my joints, and it works great. But this works greater! You still need to manually orient your end joint, but it makes the process of orientation a lot faster, which is probably why they invented it. Glad I finally know about it!

We have our rigs oriented globally down the z axis. Locally, the x faces down the joint and the z faces out, or in the -x globally. To set it up put the primary axis as x, the secondary as y. and the secondary orientation in the direction of our rig, or z. Here it is with the results.
