all objects were created at 0,0,0 and so the triangle was inside the other cubes. here it is above them now.

But there's a bug.When you run the program and leave it a while it's says "the angle must be specified between 0 to 360 degrees"

thats not a bug, what happens is that eventualy the angle is some over-large value (prolly 360.1 degrees..not sure on that) and the compilers algorythm that uses angles to position objects breaks down and causes an error, just use the wrapvalue command to make sure the angle never goes above 360, this was just an example, Indi didn`t want to clutter it with extra commands that had no bearing on the question, just add....

YROTATE OBJECT 1,wrapvalue(OBJECT ANGLE Y(1)+0.1)
YROTATE OBJECT 2,wrapvalue(OBJECT ANGLE Y(2)+0.1)

in place of the original lines and it should work forever, cheers.
