I am attempting to distribute a set of tubes to form a Teepee like structure i.e. they form the vertices of a cone. Still learning Houdini Indie and just not sure how to go about. Guessing I need a Polyform with the Tangent set appropriately. Other alternative I thought about was to attach the spars (tubes) to the points on two concentric circles. Any help on the approach really appreciated.
you can use copy to points to the first circle you mentioned, but you have to calculate the orientation attributes (@up, @N). You can set the directions manually. The main direction “@up” should be the direction from the point @P of the first circle to the second one with the same point number (@ptnum). “@N” can be obtained calculating the direction of the both neighbours of point @P.
