Unable to rotate / change orientation of the model with an script

I’m making a simulator game, and i wanna put a model into a specific CFrame position. That worked!

But its displaced, and i wanna rotate it by an script, once you press place it is there, but not rotated.

The problem is, i dont know how to change the rotation of the model how do you change rotation of a model?

After i clicked the button i tried this:

	local mod = game.Workspace.icardx350:Clone()
			mod:MakeJoints()
			mod.Parent = workspace
			mod:PivotTo(CFrame.new(-60.265, -51.309, 263.029))

But rotation? Idk how?

Could someone help? Thanks!

Goodbye!

Try add this mod:PivotTo(CFrame.angles(0, 0, 0--add the right orientation here)) i dont know if this works for sure though.

Uhh i tried everything thats possible, uhh… somethings wrong…

add CFrame.Angles to your current PivotTo

mod:PivotTo(CFrame.new(-60.265, -51.309, 263.029) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(--[[rotation in degrees here]]),math.rad(--[[rotation in degrees here]]),math.rad(--[[rotation in degrees here]]))

I cannot figure out how to do this, i’m bad at math’s… especially at coordinates

as @AMisspelledUsernaem mentioned, you should add the rotation you want onto the cframe. this will rotate it. so let’s say you want to rotate it 10 degrees upwards, you do

mod:PivotTo(CFrame.new(-60.265, -51.309, 263.029) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(0), math.rad(10), math.rad(0)))

this will add 10 degrees to the current rotation. using * (multiplication) is basically just adding it on for CFrames. I recommend playing around with it, you really don’t need to be good at math to understand degrees. if you really don’t get it, 90 degrees is a sharp 1/4 of a full turn. you can go from there.
