because you are wanting something to rotate that isn't there yet.
That's what I was afraid of... I thought of that, but wondered how the 'chain event' took place... Very curious.
Seems impossible in the current state. You could add a vis state with up to 10 sections and then have rotations for each of them. Not very elegant but it would work.
Yea, a vis state would be fugly, I think, but is a possibility... It's just that I forsee this block needing to be quite long, possibly, maybe a 30' radius with 90 degrees of turn or something... I don't know. We get walls sized from some doctor's backyard, to something to support a parking lot for the new Wal-Mart or Lowes or something, sometimes.
We don't do them often by any means... very rare, but if I'm going to make a block to support them, I'd like it to encompass projects of any scale we'd encounter... including long sweeping curves of gradual radius...
I'll keep trying, and.. probably will end up doing what you thought of. I just hate vis states when it's something as easy as this. I see a list that says "1,2,3,4,5,6..." and it just seems that there "must be a better way"
Thanks for the help. Glad to get a more experienced dynamic blocker looking at it.

never tried that, but an interesting idea. maybe with nesting?
you may have to restrict yourself to segments only, particularly with radii.
I'm not sure what he meant by nesting. I inquired further. I don't think a block within a block within a block would solve this, and may actually end up being worse. I'm not sure.
