Connecting Points with Rectangles in POPs – Alignment Issue [SOLVED]

Hi everyone,

260820 2.9 pop rectangle instancing problem.toe (21.1 KB)

I’m not sure whether this post belongs in “POPs” or “Beginner”, since I’m obviously still a beginner when it comes to POPs.

I want to create a POP network where rectangle instances connect seamlessly to each other. They should have a fixed height, but an adjusted rotation and a dynamic width based on the distance between points. In short: rectangles acting as connecting “lines” between points (A → B, B → C, etc.).

The Line Metrics POP gives me everything I need. However, when I set the Scale attribute in Math Mix, the positions start to shift at certain angles. The rectangles no longer align perfectly, and the problem becomes more noticeable as the angle increases.

I can’t seem to figure out what’s causing this. Could someone please take a quick look at it? I’d really appreciate any help!

i guess i found it - changing the option “template rotate to order” in the copy POP
