koots

Do you see the 3rd post pointed at a 45% rotation. Is there any part of this tool that can remove the y rotation? This tool works perfectly but I can figure out how to not spin this 3rd post.

The copy SOP does this, but messes with something else and I don't think I can use this SOP

Any ideas?

Turns out that the copy sop was the best tool. I needed to deselect “Transform using template point attribute”

Joshua,

I am also doing this tutorial, but you are a bit farther ahead of me. When I get here I will see if I can help out in any way. If you figure this out, make sure and post here on how you got around the issue. If you are interested, I would love to learn Houdini with another person.

Best Regards,
