well, I thought it worked but it didn't.
I think there's something wrong with the vtransform part (I'm working with
megapov 0.4). what does it actually do?

here is my code:
// p2-p1-p3 (p1 is the central point)
// p1 =  < 5.076621, 5.713426, -1.745696>
// p2 =  < 4.703301, 6.268358, -2.430469>
// p3 =  < 5.634149, 6.302207, -1.237040>
#declare v1 = <0.9572,0,0>;
#declare v2 = <-0.239987, 0.926627, 0>;                 // x=(0.9572 *
cos104.52), y=(0.9572 * sin104.52)
#declare new1 = <-0.37332,  0.55493, -0.68477>;  // newpoint2 - newpoint1
#declare new2 = < 0.55753,  0.58878,  0.50866>;   // newpoint3 - newpoint1

  object { myobject
    Reorient(v1, new1)
    //AxisRotate(new1,71) this one works but i don't know how to get the 71.
    Reorient(vtransform(v2, Reorient(v1, new1)), new2)
    translate < 5.076621, 5.713426, -1.745696>
  }

thanks,
sa
