Hi guys,

i'm pretty new to Houdini and sometime i lack certain knowledge of how to use certain things correctly.
What i'm trying to do is the following:

I have a spline with a number of points on it, and i want to rotate every single point of this spline to rotate around one axis with an increasing angle, to get some kind of a spiral along the surface which is made out of the same spline with an revolveSOP.

In my opinion it shouldn't be that hard, but i seem to use the wring expressions or so.

Any Tips you could provide?

Thanks in advance and greetings
