Well, I wouldn't try to re-invent the wheel, so ...

Given S == vlength(<a,b,c>-<x,y,z>)

1) Scale your object by S/h or <1,S,1>/h depending whether you want to
keep the proportions consistent.
2) Apply one of the reorientation macros to the object. The two I can
remember are in John VanSickle's Thoroughly Useful Macros and Gilles
Tran's tree generator, either of which should do the trick.

Hope this helps,
	Mike Andrews.
