Even this basic code, cut and pasted from the P3D tutorial, won’t run. Any ideas?

```auto
float x,y,z;

void setup() {
  size(200,200,P3D);
  x = width/2;
  y = height/2;
  z = 0;
}

void draw() {
  translate(x,y,z);
  rectMode(CENTER);
  rect(0,0,100,100);

  z++; // The rectangle moves forward as z increments.
}

```

Here is the error I get:

```

try it now

```auto
float x,y,z;

void setup() {
  size(800,700,P3D);
  x = width/2;
  y = height/2;
  z = 0;
}

void draw() {
  translate(x,y,z);
 rectMode(CENTER);
  rect(0,0,100,100);

  z++; // The rectangle moves forward as z increments.
}

```auto
float x,y,z;
void setup() {
  size(200,200,P3D);
  x = width/2;
  y = height/2;
  z = 0;
  frameRate(12);
}

void draw() {
  translate(x,y,z);
  rectMode(CENTER);
  rect(0,0,100,100);
  z++; // The rectangle moves forward as z increments.
}

```

here it works: you need frameRate(); during setup() on big sur… ( frameRate(1200); if you don’t whant framerate limitations)

No problem! I should have been more specific – and not misspelled ‘Big Sur’ in the title 🙂

Thanks for your responses.

I have tried to use two different versions of Processing. 1) the stable 3.5.4 release (17 Jan 2021) and 2) pre-release 4.0 alpha 3 (17 Jan 2021). Both appear to have similar issues.

Thank you for the frameRate solution. I was going crazy!
