I want to set `CesiumGlobeAnchor`Rotation(East-Up-North), but take a look at the `CesiumGlobeAnchor` component, I cant found the way to set it

CesiumGlobeAnchor has a `rotationEastUpNorth` property. Just set it. The property is a Quaternion, so if you want to set it with Euler angles instead, use `Quaternion.Euler`:

That’s my code, but it doesn’t work. What’s wrong?

The UI displays Euler angles. You’re setting a quaternion. And in fact you’re setting an _invalid_ quaternion. Use that Euler method I mentioned previously. Something like this (untested): `_cesiumGlobeAnchor.rotationEastUpNorth = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 0);`

Cesium rotationEastUpNorth is a Unity.Mathematics.quaternion, not UnityEngine.Quaternion. I just created a function to convert to Unity.Mathematics.quaternion to UnityEngine.Euler (Vector3)

```auto
  public Vector3 ConvertToEuler(quaternion qd) //qb = quaternion double
  {
      Quaternion q = new Quaternion((float)qd.value.x, (float)qd.value.y, (float)qd.value.z, (float)qd.value.w);
      return q.eulerAngles;
  }

```

Not sure how expensive that conversion is but hopefully its not much. Maybe there is an easier more efficient way to do the conversion?
