None of those are rotated at all, they all stay in their original 
orientation. All translate will do is change their location. You can 
make a ring of them, but you can't rotate them with vaxis_rotate().
Now, you could use vaxis_rotate together with the Reorient_Trans() 
macro, but that's just making it hard for yourself...why not just use 
the Axis_Rotate_Trans() macro?
