Hi,

You can use Orientation Along Curve SOP, where X Axis will give you what you want. Make sure to choose the right Tangent Type for your use case.

Great update! Everything works except fn:displaySelectNearestNode(uievent, context) option. I have bounded to my 1 key and remove every other hotkeys in the hotkey editor but it does not seem to work. The other options are working like 2 3 4 but not display one. How can i fix it?

You can use the selectDisplayNearestNodeInEditorEnhanced function in utility_generic.

Hi, thank you for the quick update

I have some issue when trying to create nodes by using the multi-selection menu (for example in SOP, press H then C to create groupcombine node), the menu would show up but cant seem to create the node. Down below are error message from houdini console:
