Summary

Function: vector llRot2Up( rotation q );

Computes the orientation of the local z-axis (up-direction relative to prim). It is useful to find out the tilting angle of prim relative to earth (global z-axis). Can be useful to identify the orientation of the local horizontal-plane of the prim, since it's z-axis is always perpendicular to this plane.
Returns a vector that is the up vector defined by q, i.e. a unit vector pointing in the positive Z direction
