Hi all,

Let me first say that I have a long LightWave 3D background. I'm setting my first steps into Houdini and at times it's overwhelming. On top of that I have to also say that I have no technical background whatsoever. I'm more of visual kinda guy. Math scares me .

I'm trying to do a fairly simple thing but cannot find a solution for it:

I created a box and a circle and connected the box in the first input of a copy SOP and the circle in the second input of the copy SOP. So now I have a nice circle of boxes but I want the boxes to rotate/orient along the line of the circle. I cannot seem to find out how that's done.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

hi,

use a sweep sop instead. here is avideo about orienting : http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1242&Itemid=166 [sidefx.com]

ah merci beaucoup! Thank you very much!

another method would be to add a polyframe sop to the circle and set the tangent to N before wiring it into the copy sop.
