Hi, im trying to create a circle of boxes that points to center of the circle.
I am using Copy SOP with ‘Transform using Template Point Attributes’ option ON.
I am calculating the point normals, for the circle, in Attribute VOP, by subtracting point position from constant (0, 0, 0(
My question is: why are the boxes rotating?

one vector doesn't define full rotation so while your N attribute defines which way points z-axis of your box it doesn't define the twist around it, hence it's unpredictable
you can add up attribute defining up-vector for your rotation, then on top of z-axis being pointed in N dir, y-axis will always lie on plane defined by N and up
(file attached)
you can as well define rotation by orient attrib, see the example on following link:
