Hi in the helpfile of the copy to points SOP there is this line:

Rotates copies to face the target point normals. Also applies translations, rotations and scales according to the trans, rot, and scale point attributes on the template points (if these attributes exist).

I got the normal thing working but has anyone got the rotation attribute working?

Hi,
http://www.tokeru.com/cgwiki/index.php?title=Copy,_Stamps,_Rotation,_Hscript,_Vex,_a_ramble#Controlling_Rotation [www.tokeru.com]

A bit to read about rotation better @orient

a quote form the text:
“I mentioned earlier that the copy sop looks for several attributes to control orientation. @N and @up is one way, but my preference is to use @orient. @orient is a quaternion, a 4 value vector, which you might've heard of in terms of rotations. Its key advantage over other rotation methods is that it's standalone; just @orient by itself will give you stable orientation.”

kind regards

Olaf
