Featurescript-Orient a plane

I would like to draw a rectangle on the end of an I beam. I have found the plane and the points for the sketched rectangle but the plane's axes are not parallel with the edges of the beam.
I have queried the beam edges, Is it possible to rotate the plane so that one of its axes is in the same direction as the queried lines?

say if your lines are in linesQuery, sketch plane is stored in planeQuery then:var skPlane = evPlane(context,{"face":planeQuery});skPlane.xAxis = evLine(context, {"edge":linesQuery}).direction;then skPlane should have xAxis aligned to one of the edges and you can transfrom 3d vertex coordinate vectors to 2d vectors in plane's coordinate system with worldToPlane() function
