Image aside, from what I'm reading, you're trying to get basically a 2D vector on a given plane that matches the rotation (within its plane) of another vector?

Or, put another way, you'd like to use this code to project an arbitrary vector onto a given plane?

Something like this?  If so, I can probably come up with something.

hi guys,

i know how to use the angleBetween command to find the angle between two 
vectors, and then use the rotateBy method to rotate one vector to align with 
the other. My problem is though, imagine that the first vector has its freedom 
of movement limited by an axis, so all it can do is rotate along a particular 
plane.

Is there a way of finding that angle to rotate the first vector to so that it 
is pointing in the direction of the second vector, but restricted by its axis.

hope this makes sense
thanks,
Sam
