How about this? Will give you the same structure…
for a=1 to 20 do
(
for b=1 to a do
(
box size:[10,10,10] pos:[a*45,b*45,0] wirecolor:blue
)
)

you…are…mean.
Feb 08, 2008 8:23 pm
ps, shorter
for a=1 to 20 do (
for b=1 to a do
box size:[10,10,10] pos:[a*45,b*45,0] wirecolor:blue
)
Feb 08, 2008 8:23 pm
Actually it’s a one liner… I spread it out for clairity…
[left]for a=1 to 20 do (for b=1 to a do(box size:[10,10,10] pos:[a45,b45,0] wirecolor:blue))[/left]
[left]:-)[/left]

thanks for the help but they are not boxes.
for a=1 to 20 do (for b=1 to a do(box size:[10,10,10] pos:[a45,b45,0] wirecolor:blue))
for a=1 to 20 do (for b=1 to a do( insert myslpine paremeters here? ))

I think I got it, thanks for the direction and help.
