hmtoggle_plus1Comments
1.The reference frame identifier must be different from all skew identifiers.
2.The reference frame is fixed and its directions are defined by Y’ and Z’. Vectors of arbitrary length may be given.
3.Input is Y’ axis and Z’ axis, but X’ axis is computed as follows:

X’ = Y'symbol_vZ’ and Y’ is recomputed Y'’ = Z'symbol_vX’

Therefore, the new reference frame is defined by X’, Y'’, and Z’.
