How do I create an orientation from a look vector?
I have a look vector, either a Surface Normal from a raycast, or (position1-position2).Unit, or some look vector. How do I transform it into an orientation, so I can assign a part's orientation to match the look vector?

Do you want to rotate the part so the parts front surface "looks" at the LookVector? PhantomBrix 40 — 3y

You could do some math here, but there is a built-in CFrame:ToOrientation() method.
local cf = cframehere local orientation = Vector3.new(cf:ToOrientation())
I'm not 100% sure, but I remember something about ToOrientation returning 3 values and not a Vector3, may need to double-check that.

I don't have a CFrame, I have a Vector3 nc2r 117 — 3y
