Need help. I'm forgetting something...

Trying to make a dynamic block that will rotate at intervals of 90 degrees. I've accomplished that much. What I also want to do is give it a visibility set so that I can choose the angle from a drop down list. My trouble is that when I try to add the 2nd, 3rd or 4th visibility state, I loose the object. I did check the box, hide all existing objects in new state. I'm thinking I need to rotate the object at least another 90 degreed for each new state. That's what I can't figure out... how to get those two things to mesh.

instead of a visibility state, try using a a lookup. select the rotation parameter and input the angles you want it to rotate.

got stuck there too. I was giving my angles under the input properties... 0 then 90 the 180 then 360. When I type in 360, it reverts to 0. Hopefully Autodesk will simplify this a little more in years to come!

doh!! I was wanting 270, not 360. 360 would be a duplicate.
