Why can't rotate ?

I'm trying to import and rotate a STEP file, but the rotation isn't working. Why ?

Here is my code:

Document doc = Autodesk.Navisworks.Api.Application.MainDocument;
doc.AppendFile(@"C:\Users\bnps\Desktop\Teste.STEP");

ModelItemCollection mic = new ModelItemCollection();

foreach (Model mdl in doc.Models)
mic.Add(mdl.RootItem);

UnitVector3D vecX = new UnitVector3D(1, 0, 0);
Rotation3D rot1 = new Rotation3D(vecX, Math.PI / 2);
Transform3D rotMat = new Transform3D(rot1);
doc.Models.OverridePermanentTransform(mic, rotMat, true);
