I noticed that by disabling "recompute point normals" in the Subdivide SOP and the default OpenSubdiv Catmull-Clark , it's much more like the Display version.

Just for convenience I created a "Copy & Align" HDA that automates copying and aligning an object to a selection of points.

Hey thanks for taking the time.

But I guess what I'm trying to do is fairly simple. I'm just trying to automate adding Normals and an attribute wrange to properly copy and align some objects to a point selection on some geo to get my feet wet in creating HDA's.

So I created a Subnet/HDA with 2 inputs, and the 2nd input goes into the Target Points input of a "copytopoint" SOP in the HDA, and I then created a pointgroup that I plugged into the HDA.

But I added a selection menu to the HDA's Parameter Interface so I can select different incoming groups, and I'm channel-referencing this group parameter in the "Target Points" of the "copytopoints" SOP inside the HDA (chs("../targetgroup"))

But if it's easier I can put the scene and hda in dropbox.
