Thanks for the reply, I was able to figure out the turning, but when I am using it in a perframe command, the views are ignorned.</div>

The result that I am after is the following: At each timpoint in a vseries, step through 4 views, and move on to the next frame.</div>

I used the following alias for the smooth turns around in a circle with named views.</div>

alias tableTop <span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important"><span> </span>view West 8; wait 8; view South 8; wait 8; view East 8; wait 8; view North 8; wait 8;</span></div>

Hi Brandon,<br>
I'm not sure what you gave as the axis of rotation in the "roll" (or "turn") command, but it can be any vector, specified in either the "laboratory" coordinate system or that of the model.<br>

<br>
I hope this helps,<br>
