How to attach a null to animated polygon selection tag?

[let-fall]

Hello, I converted animated abc file to alembic morph. How can can attach a null to its polygon selection? Can the null follow the pollygon selection surface? Or is there another way to do it?

Hi let-fall,

I have no idea what your scene looks like.

Please share a small example file (the forum takes 1MB and c4d files)

All the best

Hi let-fall,

Thanks for the perfect file.

You asked for a null to be attached; that would be this way:

With three nulls on three different points, a Target Tag will be stable (Target and Upvector, as well the position: three points)

Perhaps try this option, Projection, and Initialize, after the source object is dragged into the field.

You need to re-connect the abc files.

If you encounter Priority problems in the final setup, bake it or use Alembic.

All the best

Hi Dr Sassi, thank you for your reply. But when I add the target tag, it is not stable in my project. There may be an orientation problem. Could you provide one practical example?
