could accomplish this by adding something like '5.0 + Slider * 3.0' into the expression field... (and having an integer slider with domain 0 to 6).

7, 9, 12 and 13 to be able to rotate freely around the y axis at nodes 2, 3, 6, 7, 10 and 11 respectively. The last 2 conditions, for elements 12 and 13, doesn't give any problems, but the first 4 does.
Any help?

i mean, i want a slider that can do 3 sides, 4 sides, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. for the grids because I dont want to use a fixed grid shape such as square grid (4 sides only).
