Tilted plane used for alignment

[[Se...]]

Hi all, 

Think I'm having a brain loss moment and cannot figure out how to align a particular part (will add photos when I’m in work).

Part is 1” square tube bent into a half ring, the half ring is then twisted/tilted 30 degrees, meaning there is no ‘flat’ surface to create a plane on.

Can’t help but feel I’m missing something simple?

Special button in alignment window - add rotation.

Well you can mesure allways a cylinder and align and create a prependicular plane therorical from the measured cylindr, but you need allwazs a point to create a origin for one of the axis

Picture added in case my rambling didn’t make sense! 
This is how to part sits on the CMM.

Did a quick sketch to see how calypso would work with it, looks like calypso thinks it would be a cone. you could use that surface as your X and Y origin and the intersection of that and the outer surface as your Z origin for your base alignment

If you can - make lines and their intersections at least 3 times around a part - that should be sufficient.
