I made a realy cool pict in Strata 3D but I can't make the spin sprite. How do you do that?

I render it many times, each with the next angle, and paste all of the images into appleworks, which I use to get them into the correct format with placing and background color and such.

Yeah but how do you know how far 10 degrees is? Is there a menu or something to rotate the view?

Strata's "properties" pallet can do this. You should read through the Strata manual at [url="http://"http://www.3d.com"]www.3d.com[/url] so that you'll know how to use Strata3D
