Need to realign objects rotation to and edge (in maya)
polycounter lvl 6
Hi
Im a relative noob to 3d, so am hoping that this is easily achieved
.
After playing around with some animation on mu model ive managed to loose its initial rotation. I dont particularly want to realign it by eye as that feels a little imprecise. I was hoping that there may be a way to do such a thing by aligning to an edge? Similar to the way you can align an transform handle to an edge.
many thanks for any help you can give!

You can use the Snap Together Tool(Modify-->Snap Together Tool,then go to the options box,to tick your desired options)to align an object to a face.If you need it to align to an edge,just extrude that edge temporarily untill you are done..
Be sure your objects are both ungrouped though,otherwise itll allign the whole group ..
