      As said in the subject, i would like to know if it's possible to reset a transformation in loop.
      example :

      
      x=0
      while x < nbit
        t = Geom;;Transformation.rotation(pivotpt, norm, 90.degrees)
        group1 = group0.copy
        group1.transform!(t)
        group0 = group0.parent.entities.add_group([group0, group1])
        pivotpt.transform!(t)
        x += 1
      end

        It looks like it should work... 😕
        Just try it...
        Note that instead of using a 'while' loop you could use something like:
        nbit.times{ ... }

          Well, i tried but it seems that doesn't work...
          And i don't understand why not.
          Here is my complete script (with nbit correction)

          lg = 1.m
          nbit = 5
          point1 = [0,0,0]
          point2 = [lg,0,0]
          point3 = [lg,lg,0]
          norm = [0,0,1]
          group0 = Sketchup.active_model.entities.add_group
          line = group0.entities.add_line point1,point2
          line = group0.entities.add_line point2,point3
          pivotpt = point3
          
          nbit.times{
            t = Geom;;Transformation.rotation(pivotpt, norm, 90.degrees)
            group1 = group0.copy
            group1.transform!(t)
            group0 = group0.parent.entities.add_group([group0, group1])
            pivotpt.transform!(t)
          }
          

          Maybe i may transform the coordinates system instead. Or do you know another trick like using an indexed variable name for t?

            You can of course use:
            point.transform!(t)
            And make each geometry set in turn...
            What is it you want to end up with ?
            I note that near the end of the {} you are transform-rotating 'pivotpt' anchored on itself - so it stays where it is !
