Passed the validator: real scale, rests on y = 0, front faces +Z, deterministic.

Use it

Code for the specimen as it is set up above; it follows your knobs.

JavaScript
import { createAsset } from 'https://gaitkit.com/cdn/seesaw.mjs';

const seesaw = createAsset();
scene.add(seesaw);                      // rests on y = 0, front faces +Z

// 'beam' pivots on its hinge: -14° to 14° around z
seesaw.getObjectByName('beam').rotation.z = THREE.MathUtils.degToRad(-14);

More in the docs; agents can fetch all of this through MCP.
