We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

If there's no swirl I'd expect cyclic and symmetric to give much the same result. If there's swirl you'll need cyclic/rotational periodics.  Note, if you're only seeing 4 repeats check in the Views panel as you've not set enough copies.Â
