I create an "add" node to get me one point. I put it into a pop net and only emit on first frame. Put pop force on it with some noise. Looks great! Copy to points a cube, and the second frame the rotation is all over the place, am I missing something basic? I have tried every other force and it always pops on the second frame in the direction I want it to go. I tried animating the forces on, its just delayed the inevitable. Submitting frames one and two. Thank you for any help! Houdini 18.5.351

Sounds like you don't want rotation, is that right? Copy to points will orient the copied shape if it finds certain attributes. @v is one of those, which a pop net will make by default.

Try an attrib delete to remove @v before the copy to points.
