Fit sphere and fit plane are immensely useful tools; I was wondering if there was a way (currently, or feasible to implement) to fit other primitives, particularly cylinders, to points?

Alright, no problem. For my purposes pen and paper will do fine!

Would it be possible to rotate a mesh/pointcloud within a plane to align to an axis via picking two points? i.e: I'm orientating a pointcloud to the horizontal (XY) using the plane fitting tool, and would then like to rotate it within that plane so it remains horizontal, but such that a linear featu...

I'd certainly find that useful... don't know if others would.

Very useful feature, but is there a way to use that plane to orient the point cloud? I.e., remove the overall dip from the total point cloud?
