Unable to rotate an Opening Element through C++ code

Hi Team,

We were able to create an opening that is not rotated through code as shown below:

But when we tried to create an opening in a wall that is rotated, it gave us an exception.

We tried to apply the same values of a rotated opening by examining the element while debugging, but it threw an Undefined Exception. The fields that we observed while debugging were:

element.opening.extrusionGeometryData.frame
element.opening.extrusionGeometryData.parameters.anchorAltitude

Even even after applying the exact values, the opening creation failed. Sharing the code snippet:

GSErrCode CreateVoidElement(API_Guid &guid, double height, double width) { API_Element element = {}; SetAPIElementType(element, API_OpeningID); GSErrCode err = ACAPI_Element_GetDefaults(&element, nullptr); if (err != NoError) { return err; } API_Coord3D centre = { 5.1098433404610457, -0.030022800000000016, 1.8550278689631494 }; element.opening.owner = guid; element.opening.extrusionGeometryData.frame.basePoint = centre; element.opening.extrusionGeometryData.parameters.width = width; element.opening.extrusionGeometryData.parameters.height = height; element.opening.extrusionGeometryData.parameters.anchorAltitude = centre.z; element.opening.extrusionGeometryData.parameters.basePolygonType = API_OpeningBasePolygonRectangular; element.opening.extrusionGeometryData.parameters.linkedStatus = API_OpeningNotLinked; element.opening.extrusionGeometryData.parameters.limitType = API_OpeningLimitInfinite; element.opening.extrusionGeometryData.frame.axisX = { 0.68026102118532772,-6.2630543774511271,-0.73296994689816253 }; element.opening.extrusionGeometryData.frame.axisY = { 0.73296994689816231,1.8257846755738153,0.68026102118532794 }; element.opening.extrusionGeometryData.frame.axisZ = { 0.0,1.0,0.0 }; err = ACAPI_Element_Create(&element, nullptr); return err; }
