2 Animated rings

[simsmj]

Welcome to the forum, Bigandrewgold.

If we are just talking about two octagons spinning, then you can select one by clicking on the cursor button (looks like a|b). Position the cursor beside one of the octagons, then hold shift while hitting one of the arrow keys to move the cursor across the octagon.
You can then amend the direction of spin in the animation dialogue box.

If you don't have the cursor on, then amending the spin direction affects bot octagons.

See the attached x3d file for a similar situation.
