I would not use lookVector at all I do not remember which axis is the front, so I will just post which one I think, you can change it to the other if you wish. Part.CFrame = Part2.CFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, 5)

@Sehnsucht, Depends if the brick is rotated, So you could use lookVector Part.CFrame = Part.CFrame + (Part.CFrame.lookVector*5)

@Robert No. CFrame takes rotation into consideration. A CFrame is a position along with a rotation, you see. Btw, front is negative z axis.
