Hello Sassi,
Hope you are going well. I am trying to achieve two tasks in the scene file below.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/j16zhfq1oudtowv/aligning.c4d?dl=1
1) Is there a way to orient the axis center of the tetrahedron to match the orientation of the selected point? If you switch between Model mode and Point mode you will see the difference. I want the object axis of the tetrahedron to match the axis orientation (rotation) of the selected point. I have played with the Axis Center tool but cannot get the desired result.
2) How can I clone a tetrahedron to each face of an octahedron so that the “base” of each tetrahedron is aligned with each polygon face, so it creates a star tetrahedron? I have looked at the Cloner in Object mode set to Polygon center, but cannot get the tetrahedrons to align. I want to animate 8 tetrahedrons expanding away from each face of the octahedron, like the single tetrahedron in the scene file, but have all 8 properly aligned.
Thanks for any help.
