# alignedWith(appAxis:)

Creates a direction that orients the participant to look along the specified axis in the direction of the app’s content.

## Declaration

```swift
static func alignedWith(appAxis: SpatialTemplateElementAxis) -> SpatialTemplateElementDirection
```

## Parameters

- `appAxis`: The axis for the participant to look along.

## Return Value

Return Value A direction type that faces the specified seat position.

## Discussion

Discussion Use this function to create a seat that faces perpendicular to the app. For example, you might use it to mimic a long bench or stadium-style seating. The following code shows how to create such a line of seats: struct Line: SpatialTemplate {     var elements: [any SpatialTemplateElement] {         (-2...2).map { seatIndex in             .seat(                 position: .app.offsetBy(x: Double(seatIndex) * 2, z: 3),                 direction: .alignedWith(appAxis: .z)             )         }     } }
