All,

For completeness (as I really didnt fully answer the Question as I was pushed for time) I have added a few additional nodes in this script to help modifying the Assemblies Transform. These include the following Post Assembly Creation Utils:-

- **RotateOriginAboutAxis** (as above)  
\*\* Rotates the Assemblies Transform about the specified Axis by the specified Rotation in degrees.
- **OrientToFace**  
\*\* Orient/Relocates the Assemblies Transform to the Location of a Point on the Given Surface.
- **OrientToPlane**  
\*\* Orient/Relocates the Assemblies Transform to the Location of a Point on the Given Plane.
- **MatchTransform**  
\*\* Matches the Assemblies Transform to the Transform of another Element. @john1, this will probably be more suitable for your case.

Hope these come in handy. 🙂
