I know, I know, wrong forum, but nobody on Scripting Helpers knows the answer.
Part2 is rotated 18 degrees and positioned for a perfect fit with Part1.
I now want to add Part3, with the exact same relative rotation and position as Part2 is to Part1, for a total of 36 degrees of rotation from Part1 to Part3. I know how to get the relative CFrame of Part2 to Part1 using :toObjectSpace, but how do I make this the relative CFrame of Part3 to Part2? |

...What? Who is TheCapacitor? |

TheCapacitor is a passive two-terminal electrical component used to store energy in an electric field. |

Or the user who enters an uncontrollable fit of rage whenever he sees me. |

@arceus, That answer does not pertain to my question of "*Who* is TheCapacitor?" but the rather the question of "*What* is the capacitor?" |

What do you think the People browsing page is for? |

Having his userpage doesn't answer the question of "Who is he?" |

I'm going to stop this saying that I'm a moron.
When I was trying to get the selection I was dragging to align with the rotated bit, I had left it rotated.
I forgot that I could just select all of the stuff I was dragging on to and align it to the main axis by moving the rotated bit, solving my rotation problem.
Having said that, I feel like slightly less of a moron. |

Back on topic, if I understand your question correctly:
one = Vector3.new(Part1.CFrame:toEulerAnglesXYZ())
two = Vector3.new(Part2.CFrame:toEulerAnglesXYZ())
d = one - two
d = Vector3.new(math.abs(d.x), math.abs(d.y), math.abs(d.z))
Part3.CFrame = part3.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(d) |

Small fix:
one = Vector3.new(Part1.CFrame:toEulerAnglesXYZ())
two = Vector3.new(Part2.CFrame:toEulerAnglesXYZ())
d = two - one
d = Vector3.new(math.abs(d.x), math.abs(d.y), math.abs(d.z))
Part3.CFrame = part3.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(d) |

Wait, I misinterpreted:
one = Vector3.new(Part1.CFrame:toEulerAnglesXYZ())
two = Vector3.new(Part2.CFrame:toEulerAnglesXYZ())
d = two - one
d = Vector3.new(math.abs(d.x), math.abs(d.y), math.abs(d.z))
Part3.CFrame = Part3.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(two + d) |

Here's exactly what you want:
Part[N].CFrame = Part[N-1].CFrame * Part[N-2].CFrame:inverse() * Part[N-1].CFrame |

Suggest an alternative and I may agree with you. |

Use the rotation matrix.
rot = CFrame.new() - CFrame.new().p |

rotation matrix < poop
Why do you need 9 different matrices when you can create any possible angle with the use of only 3 of them? |
