Pattern on round surface without angling along Z

Hi! I want to achieve a pattern on the round surface using these chips, but only angle along XY and not Z. Here’s an example of the effect I want to achieve.


Here’s my result on the round surface I want it on. As you can see, the chips angles along the surface on Z when I only want it on XY:

I’m not sure what you want…? Maybe this?

Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed.

I might have made a mistake in the yellow group, using the average of all four vertices? Maybe it’s correct if you want if you want the fragment centered vertically on the destination frames?

I usually place such fragments at the origin to avoid any mystery about the ‘Source’ plane (Orient ‘A’ input).

There is also a component fit for purpose.
