MODIFY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK
Update Date: Jan 08 2010
Description:
grabs selected models in the scene and based on an argument
returns position,rotation or both.
No error checking , works technically on any transforms.
-1 = returns translation
1 = returns rotation
0 = returns both rotation and translation
Function list:
1. rf_getSelectedObjects() - grabs selected moddels and returns them
2. rf_getObjectOrientation(arg,) - queries position,rotation and returns them.
NOTE: make use of import function in python to use these anywhere,anytime.

It's extremelly important to include the "," there when assigning
the results of the above function directly to the list in
rf_getObjectOrientation(arg,lNodes=rf_getSelectedObjects())
To execute you must have correct syntax.
