How to make these SOP instances point to center?

Beginners

So I’ve made an operator where I can pass a TOP and have it revolve around a center point at a given iteration count of my choice, problem is that they all point downwards.

So I’m wondering how I’d be able to make each instances tip all point to the center.
(Note: the tip is the white part shown in the image of the instances)

Inside the TOP_Revolve component shows this process.

Hi @ariel_clarke,

you can use the Rotate Z Instancing parameter and rotate each instance depending on how many instances you are creating:

Little side note: if you input a CHOP into a Pattern, it will use the length of the input so you don’t have to set that again. On the channel page, choose “Append” as the Combine Channel option to also skip the merge.

Thanks! That seemed to solve it, also appreciate the side note.
