Hi,

You can use the textile.Rotate (WXYZ Rotation, XYZ Origin=XYZ(0, 0, 0)) function to rotate a textile. The first parameter is a quaternion which specifies the axis of rotation and the angle, the second is the origin for the rotation.

For example, a rotation of 45 degrees about the z axis could be specifies as textile.Rotate( WXYZ(XYZ(0,0,1), math.radians(45)), XYZ(0,0,0))

You can then use the Textiles->Create Layered... option to build up a laminate containing layers with different orientations.

I am hoping to get a new TexGen release out before Christmas and this will include a new Rotate Textile option in the GUI (it basically does what's described above).

Hope that helps,
Louise
