Hey, i just wanna ask if there is any plugin that allowes me to take mutiple objects and orient them on a point, I need it to orient the flat side of the spikes to the point in the middle of the object, thanks a lot

In Rhino, the term “orient” implies both a location and a direction vector like a surface normal, etc.
Since a point object only has a location, there isn’t any direction vector to use like there would be on a surface or a mesh vertex.
I don’t understand what you’re trying to do.
I am trying to make the flat side of the spikes face the point in the middle
The spikes look like little cones maybe. They are so small I can’t tell specifically.
If you can find the middle of the circular “base”, you just want them moved to a point location?
Sorry, I guess I’m just thick.
i want them to stay where they are and just rotate away from the middle point
The middle point of what?
the white dot in the middle, the spikes are around it
Hello- you’ll need Grasshopper or a script for this.

@Jakob7 changed this to the Grasshopper category, please post a file with the geometry to orient. Thanks.
Here is the file of the object.

Here’s a quick go at it. The Geometry has been internalized for clarity (you can open a blank Rhino file and everything will work). Select your own geometry & point for a more dynamic definition.

You can also move the cone to the origin and use orient , or create a new cone.
