Rotating a model?
Let say I have a model with a few blocks within it, and I want to rotate that model through script. How would I go about that? (Just so ya'll know, I have checked any wiki and previous question for an answer and haven't got a clear one)
My attempt:
RotationDevice = game.Workspace.Model
function Rotate(objects,center,new)
for i,object in pairs(objects:GetChildren()) do
if object.ClassName == "Part" then
object.CFrame = new:toWorldSpace(center:toObjectSpace(object.CFrame))
end
end
end
for a,z in pairs (RotationDevice:GetChildren()) do
Rotate(RotationDevice, v.Position, CFrame.new(0,0,0))
end
Returns: toObjectSpace is not a valid member
Any help is appreciated

If you simply just want to rotate it, I suggest to define the model's PrimaryPart. What this does is it gives you the option to use the :SetPrimaryPartCFrame() method.
YourModel = workspace.Model
function ReturnPrimaryPart(Model)
local ModelTable = Model:GetChildren()
local PickAPart = ModelTable[math.random(1, #ModelTable)]
return PickAPart
end
Model.PrimaryPart = ReturnPrimaryPart(YourModel)
-- Note: You could've just as easily set the PrimaryPart of a model by using the command line in studio.
function RotateModel(Model, RotateX, RotateY, RotateZ)
Model:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Model.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(RotateX), math.rad(RotateY), mathrad(RotateZ)))
end
RotateModel(YourModel, 0, 30, 0)
-- This will rotate YourModel 30 degrees in the Y-axis.
