Rotation in loops

CIRCLE[ y .5 s 0.5 ]

// Trying to get Line 2 to rotate as in Line 1 is this possible?

Won't "loop 4[ x 0.75 z -1 h 50 sat 0.80 b 1.0000 r -60 ]" do the trick?

No, the rotation cannot be done in the loop transform, it must be done in the loop body.

Code: Select all

  loop i=4 [x 0.75 sat 0.8 z -1 h 50]
    dot [y 6 b 1 h 150 sat 0.8 r (i * -60)]

Thanks MtnViewJohn
Never thought of doing it that way.
