Hi all! I have a problem with normals. So, i have a plane and a small plane as copies. But i wanna that small planes look at another direction (look at image). I used point node, but without success. Are there another tools for control normals? I pretty sure that i/ve written wrong expression in point node. Please help me.

How can i do it?
Thanx all

To control the orientation of the geometry that you want to copy, use point normals and up vectors of the template point.

Z axis of geo to be copied alligns with the point normal direction.
Y axis of geo to be copied alligns with the up vector which you can add using point sop > particle tab.

Or you can insert transform operator after the geo that you want to copy and set the desired orientation with the reference of templated copy sop.
