Components.Add + rotate

[Anonymous]

I can get the Components.Add command to bring in parts, but how on Earth do I set the rotation of them?

I've been doing it the really long matrix way in the past but I hoped this would be quicker.

Hi @Anonymous ,

one thing you could give a try is executing the commands from the radial menu by calling them explicitly (names below).

"AssemblyPlaceCompRotateX90Cmd" Rotate X 90°
"AssemblyPlaceCompRotateY90Cmd" Rotate Y 90°
"AssemblyPlaceCompRotateZ90Cmd" Rotate Z 90°

Please refer to the following article for how to run commands via API:

Please let me know if this works for you, I will also do some testing on my end.

Thank you!
