Original size



I have a scene with almost 300 sun panels revolving around their stand and I was wondering if is there any way if I could set the rotating path for one object and the assign the "same" path to all other objects.
In the picture you can see what could be a solution BUT if I put object 2 "under" object 1, then object 2 won't revolve around its own stand but around object 1. How can I solve this.
It's really time consuming to set the path for all objects by hand.
I'm using ver.3...

Hi Les
I'm using version 2 and I tried to copy an object but that doesn't retain the movement.
One way to do it would be to use a program like Quickeys to automate the input for each object. For example you get quickeys to remember 'press record, input the angle then stop the record' All you have to do is select each object then press a key.

Good luck

Mike
