now i try to create domino by copy box along curve points, direction all box to points normal and separate all boxes using connectivity and partition. And now I don't know how to rotate each box according to curve point. The box is a group of primitive.

Before copying the boxes to the curve you should have the normals as tangents to the curve. An easy way to do this is with the point sop, under the “forces” tab change “keep edge force” to “add edge force”. Then use that attribute for the point normals of the curve.

I attached a quick example:

that is a good example for me thank you. ….sometime I think I learn programming at the same time. It really hard to understand.

Very cool, never heard of that. Although, polyframe would be one less node, == win

..unless theres a hidden edge force local variable somewhere
