Well, NOW I understand. Thanks, Povman!

That means, the norm function actually could be used like a rotate < x, y, z 
 > command? And if so, where would be the point of rotation - would that 
point be the point where the placable object hits via the trace command the 
surface of the traced object, or would it be the placable objects natural 
postion from its own X,Y,Z coordinates (as usual, otherwise)?

Hmmm, I guess, I have to look deeply into the given examples again. But I 
also would appreciate easy answers...

Thanks a lot, Povman,

Sven
