Shane,
After you define which segments share proper or improper all NCS their parameters in MAIN environment, they will be calculated and stored in such macro files.

If you want to renormalize your matrices, you not only need to ensure that the length of your lines or columns is equal to 1, but also that they are orthogonal to each other, which is the easiest achieved by calculating the cross products of the matrix lines (a,b,c): (a * b = c ) through which you calculate first c and then either a or b. I would not do it, because the limited precision distorts the transformation and making in orthogonal will distort the accuracy of superimposition.
best,
