I have a custom vent model made in maya imported as an FBX, I want to tile this along a curve as to create vent systems just by dragging a curve around. I've tried the sweep node but that doesn't seem to produce the right results no matter how I modify it, the geometry is horrid. I've only been working with houdini for a day now so I'm still very much new to this (although I have experience in speedtree and UE so I'm use to the node based systems). Any help would be much appreciated
