Particle POP crashes when creating normals before it

[Ennui]

Finally back in POPs and will be spending lots more time this month with them!

I have an example file here that consistently crashes for me if I take a polygonize POP and then try to add a normal POP between that and the Particle POP.

P.S. Why isnt this called the trace POP? It’d be more consistent with the trace SOP…theres a few POPs where the counterpart in SOPs has a different name or has the same name with different functionality…it’s confusing for beginners.

Hello @Ennui
Thank you for reporting this. We fixed this crash a couple of weeks ago. The fix should be available in the next release.

I believe that with the new POPs, we took the opportunity to find names that better align with the nodes functionalities.
