What fun, to argue with Barry and Brian!
I only need do half of 2 from the above. You can make a model that
has no resource, that's what I do. As it happens I do set the
position, but I could do that just for the first vane, the enterframe
script would make all the others fall in place.
How would you use groups to do the connecting I'm doing between just
below the vane above, and just above the current vane? Would I take
the previous vanes group's position, translate its Y value (in local
coordinates to that group), and set the current vane's group to that
location (read as global coordinates)? That would involve duplicating
transforms, doing translates, and finally setting the position. The
way I do it I only have to set the position of one model per vane.
Isn't that easier?
