For some reason, my loop doesn't produce many items as intended, only
one. And I am sure, as usual I am not seeing the forest because of all
the trees in front of my eyes!  :-D


#declare MyRandom = seed (27053);
#local MyLength   = int(20*rand(MyRandom));   // Anzahl der Glieder
#local MyX        = rand(MyRandom)*45;
#local MyY        = rand(MyRandom)*1;
#local MyZ        = rand(MyRandom)*10;
#local MyElement  = 0;

#while (MyElement<MyLength)
 object { Element translate < 0.0, 0.0, 0.45 > rotate < MyX, MyY, MyZ > }
 #local MyX        = rand(MyRandom)*45;
 #local MyY        = rand(MyRandom)*1;
 #local MyZ        = rand(MyRandom)*10;
 #local MyElement  = MyElement+1;
#end

Try a different seed; for this particular one, MyLength just happens to
be 1.
