   RotateVariant (node)

The rotational twin of PlaceVariant: at each site it stamps a rotational rosette whose every copy is an independent member of a Collection, rotated about Base.

Wire a Random Per-Point field into Index and every petal at every site is a fresh draw (e.g. a p6 sheet where every tile is random). Angle/Repeat/Add OG shape the rosette

Category: Transform | Add menu: Transform > RotateVariant

Inputs

• Collection (any): the set of members to pick from.
• Points (point): the sites; a rosette is stamped on each.
• Base Point (point): the spot each member turns about and lands on; defaults to its centroid.
• Angle (any): degrees per rotation slot; copy k sits at k x Angle (positive turns clockwise).
• Repeat (number): how many rotated copies per rosette.
• Add OG (on/off): also include the un-rotated pick at slot 0.
• Index (any): which member each slot draws (0-based, wraps); a number, a per-copy field, or a list (one index per copy).

Outputs

• Geometry (any): the rosette copies as a list, each its own group.

The Index input - one member or a per-copy draw

Index (typed any) picks which member of the Collection is used at each rosette copy:

• A number: every copy uses that one member (0-based, wraps).
• A Random "Per-Point" field: each copy draws its own member independently, a fresh variant per site.
