Hi,

 use the rayCast info, what you want is the "normal" property.

I´m using that.But look.
When I shot I will create a cube.But I normally don´t have the cube parallel to hited face.My cube never rotates.
But I can see the value of rotation vector.

The normal vector3 is for apply on create object rotation.No?

Thank you

Sorry about that Jean.

Ok my main objective is set my holes parallel to face hited.
But in my case they aren´t making that.
-That is happening in my case.The bad image.
-That should happen.The good image.

How can I make this?You say that is with the normal vector and put it on rotation in create object action.Right?

Hi,

 Ok, so yes, you need to use the normal  that you find in that action, this is the right way. It is likely a problem with what you then do with that normal.

 Have you checked the sample I did a long time ago, it features a dynamic ray casting with an object that conform to the normal of the face.

Humm ok ok this is great.Thank you a lot Jean. :D
Just a simple question.
Ray Cast should works with the mesh, not the mesh collider,right?
