    Hi Isiaka,

     

    Thank you for contacting us. 

    If I understand well, you are doing a rotate option which will rotate the existing block to a new position but the existing block will not be initial position. But if you want to have same shape of the block another 8 times, then the right option is to use circular repetition and select a face as reference.

     

    Thanks
