Ideas anyone? I'm trying to animate the steps of an escalator. Each step emerges from a floor plane, travels forward a couple of feet, ascends the height of the escalator at a constant angle, levels out, travels forward a couple of feet, then goes down into the escalator to travel back down to the first floor. I've created a nice path in the Shaper and assigned the first step to it-it works great. But if I try linking the other steps to that first step, or import a path individually for each step, they move as a group up the path, rather than sequentially one after the other.
