So I am using the same type of code that I did before to set keyframes for rotation. With the code that I have, I am able to set keyframes on the rotation track but I am not able ot access the rotation.h track on it's own. How would I create the track for just rotation.h?

Here's the code I have.

  
//Planet CLOCKWISE Rotation  
      if (op->GetDataInstance()->GetBool(ENABLE_ROTATION)  &&  prnt)  
      {  
                    
          //Insert the Track  
          CTrack *track = prnt->FindCTrack(DescLevel(ID_BASEOBJECT_ROTATION,DTYPE_REAL,0));  
          if (!track)  
              {  
                  track = CTrack::Alloc(prnt,DescLevel(ID_BASEOBJECT_ROTATION,DTYPE_REAL,0));  
                  if (!track) return FALSE;  
                  prnt->InsertTrackSorted(track);  
              }  
                    
              //Get the Base Time  
              BaseTime bstime = doc->GetTime();  
                
              //Set the Frame Rate (FPS)  
              bstime.SetDenominator(op->GetDataInstance()->GetReal(ROTATION_SPEED));  
                    
              Real deNomin;  
              deNomin = bstime.GetDenominator();  
  
                
                
              //First Key will be set at 0  
              bstime.SetNominator(0);  
              CKey *keyX = track->GetCurve()->AddKey(bstime,0);  
              if (!keyX) return false;  
                 
              keyX->SetValue(track->GetCurve(),0); //Set Position to 0  
                
              //Second Key will be placed at 1.5 times the location of the frame rate (i.e. if FPS is set to 30, then the key will be placed at frame 45.  
              bstime.SetNominator(deNomin * 1.5);  
              CKey *keyX2 = track->GetCurve()->AddKey(bstime,0);  
              if (!keyX2) return false;  
              keyX2->SetValue(track->GetCurve(),360); //Set Position to 360  
  
              track->SetAfter(CLOOP_REPEAT);  
      }

To add a Rotation.H tarck you do something like this:

  
CTrack *track = op->FindCTrack(DescID(DescLevel(ID_BASEOBJECT_ROTATION,DTYPE_VECTOR,0), DescLevel(VECTOR_X,DTYPE_REAL,0)));  
if (!track)  
{  
  track = CTrack::Alloc(op,DescID(DescLevel(ID_BASEOBJECT_ROTATION,DTYPE_VECTOR,0), DescLevel(VECTOR_X,DTYPE_REAL,0)));  
  if (!track) return FALSE;  
  op->InsertTrackSorted(track);  
}

This is also mentioned in the docu under CTrack::Alloc with some other lines of example code.
