Description
Aligns the local axis orientation.
The alignAxis commands provide maximum bone configuration flexibility when working with skeletons. Often it is desirable to be able to adjust bone axes individually in order to match the requirements of the environment into which the motion capture animations will be imported. Shogun Shogun can support bones with any orientation of the local axis; however, this command will always put one of the specified axes "down the bone" for twist purposes.

Arguments
A string composed of three letters, separated by spaces. Each component of the argument may be either X, Y, or Z.
The rotation axis indicated by the first letter in the argument, x axis if the argument is "x z z", for example, will be aligned with the vector from this joint to its first child joint.
The rotation axis indicated by the second letter in the argument, z axis if the argument is "x z z", will be aligned with the world axis indicated in the third letter of the argument (z).
The remaining axis is aligned according the right hand rule.
