Go back in the arm network and publish: * value of number1. * Select all nodes and create a subnetwork from them. * Create a group node and send translate2 to it. * Create another rotate node to rotate the whole object. Negative numbers return a rotation to the left, positive one a rotation to the right. Change the second value of multiply1 to see the difference. * Create a rotate node and connect translate1 to it. Let's add a few nodes so we can rotate each segment a bit and rotate, translate this new object as a whole. Note that there is no space between them. Now you should see the stack of rectangles. Connect align1 to Shape and make point1 to translate. This returns a list of points going upwards and getting closer to each other near the end. * Create a make point node and connect negate1 to Y. * Create a negate node and send accumulation to it. This returns the running totals which we can use to create a set of points. * Connect range1 to the published size port of accumulation. Render sum1 and go back to the root network. Go back in the network and publish the size port of slice1. Call it something like running totals or accumulation. Select both nodes and make a subnetwork out of them. I want to stack them as a pile so i will have to make the sum of all previous elements to calculate the position of an element. The reverse node makes sure that the first rect is the biggest and the last one the smallest. NodeBox made a lot of shapes on top of each other so the next step is to create a list of points on which each rectangle will be placed upon. * Create an align node to align each rectangle to the bottom of the origin point. Send reverse1 to width and height port of rect1. * Create a reverse node to reverse the range. I want to be able to define the amount of segments on an arm and have the possibility to rotate each segment separately. The principle behind the arm is fairly simple.
