This script allows you to rotate the deformation of one object relative to another. This can be useful when you model a combination dataPoint for a BCS setup and you want to redirect a certain movement into a different direction.
If you don’t know what a BCS is or want more information about it, see its

I will use a simple example to explain this tool. Let’s say you have a plane
and two simple targets A and B:
|
Target A adds some structure. B rotates part of the plane about
45 degrees. When you use both at once, you get their pure addition.
|
This is what we don’t want! To correct this, we can use the bcs to create a combination. But instead of modeling it by hand, we’ll use the Rotate Deltas tool to correct the mix with just a few mouse clicks.

Notice that the structure is now rotated to fit the new orientation of the plane.
