Buggy Rotation? Grid Placement System.

Hello,

I have recently been making a Grid placement system for my game everything is going well except for the rotation.

https://gyazo.com/ee0466084ef50e1ca7a79a84df355b63

Issue 1: When I rotate when the mouse isn't moving, its really buggy. But when it is moving it's fine.

Issue 2: When the object is placed, the placed object isn't rotated.

Code:

01local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
02local Model = workspace:WaitForChild('Window1')
03local posX = mouse.Hit.X
04local posY = mouse.Hit.Y
05local posZ = mouse.Hit.Z
06local gridSize = 1
07local Rot = 0
08 
09local function rotate()
10    Rot = Rot + 45
11    Model:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Model.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(Rot), 0))
12end
13 
14mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
15    if key == "r" then
16    rotate()
17    end
18end)
19 
20local function Snap()
21    posX = math.floor(mouse.Hit.X / gridSize + 0.5) * gridSize
22    posY = mouse.Hit.Y
23    posZ = math.floor(mouse.Hit.Z / gridSize + 0.5) * gridSize
24end
25 
26mouse.Move:Connect(function()
27    Snap()
28    Model:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(posX, posY + 3.3, posZ))
29    Model:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(Model.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(Rot), 0))
30    mouse.TargetFilter = Model
31end)
32 
33local function Place()
34    local WindowCopy = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage').Objects.Window1:Clone()
35    WindowCopy.Parent = workspace
36    WindowCopy:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(posX, posY + 3.3, posZ))
37    mouse.TargetFilter = WindowCopy
38end
39 
40mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
41    Place()
42end)

Regarding issue 2: the object doesn't get rotated because on line 36, you only provide the position of the object and not its orientation.

Edit:

To provide the orientation you would simply add CFrame Angles to the CFrame. Like such:

1-- I created a variable for each CFrame to make it easier to read.
2 
3local position = CFrame.new(posX, posY + 3.3, posZ)
4local orientation = CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(Rot), 0))
5 
6WindowCopy:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(position *  orientation)

How would I provide the rotation?
