Why is my model only rotating it's primary part?

How do I use PivotTo in a tween? Or are you asking me to test?

If that's involved with the tween.

Why is my model only rotating it's primary part?

I feel like this has to do with the viewport frame, maybe it doesn't enforce certain physics

Only the primary part is anchored ✅

Why is my model only rotating it's primary part?

I'm pretty sure, I mean even if only certain things were welded to it, those should at least be rotating.

Source and destination must not be the same

I can manually get it to work if I hardcode the dest path lol!

Looks like there is a weird thing going on here I printed it out differently

function copyItem(data, pathTranslator, item) {
    console.log("DEBUG START")
    console.log("src: " + item)
    console.log("dest: " + pathTranslator.getOutputPath(item))
    console.log("DEBUG END")
    fs_extra_1.default.copySync(item, pathTranslator.getOutputPath(item), {

function copyItem(data, pathTranslator, item) {
    console.log("DEBUG START")
    console.log("src: " + item)
    console.log("dest: " + pathTranslator.getOutputPath(item))
    console.log("DEBUG END")
    fs_extra_1.default.copySync(item, pathTranslator.getOutputPath(item), {

DEBUG START
src: /Users/foouser/Desktop/roblox-test-project/src
dest: /Users/foouser/Desktop/roblox-test-project/src
DEBUG END

DEBUG START
src: /Users/foouser/Desktop/roblox-test-project/src
dest: /Users/foouser/Desktop/roblox-test-project/src
DEBUG END

Shouldn't dest have gone to /out?

Weird jittering when moving model over terrain

Ohhhhhh I see, so it appears I didn't add filtering to the ray. I noticed that it worked after I set CanQuery to false like you said. After setting some RaycastParams and filtering out itself it worked! Thank you so much sir!

Yes, not the others though. I'll try turning them all off.
