Copy Joint Orientation

24 June 2024 Not fully working as intended. I needed to unparent joints for it to work. Need to take into account hierarchy/parent space.

import pymel.core as pm

def copy_joint_orientation():
    # Get the selected joints
    selected_joints = pm.ls(selection=True, type='joint')
    
    # Ensure there is at least one joint selected
    if not selected_joints:
        pm.warning("No joints selected. Please select at least one joint.")
        return
    
    # Get the orientation of the first joint in the list
    first_joint = selected_joints[0]
    first_joint_orient = first_joint.getOrientation()
    
    # Copy the orientation to the rest of the joints
    for joint in selected_joints[1:]:
        joint.setOrientation(first_joint_orient)
    
    print(f"Copied orientation from {first_joint} to {len(selected_joints) - 1} other joints.")

# Run the function
copy_joint_orientation()
