Need Tips On How to Use Repeater

[Efren_580]

Hello, I am very new here on the forums and I am just recently gotten back into After Effects. I'm trying to make use of the repeater tool by rotating the squares into a diamond shape like this

But whenever I attempt to rotate the object it follows along like this

What should I do?

Try to rotate the rectangle only not the whole layer.

I tried that but they all follow along the same square.

No, you are doing it the wrong way.

You are applying the repeater first and then you rotate the layer.

What I did was to rotate the rectangle first and then apply the repeater.

The order is important.
