I'm trying to get an array of objects Copy SOP'd to the points of a grid to all orient or “look at” the same object or point in the scene. Was trying with stamp inputs but it was a bit over my head with this one. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

You could simply set the normals of your point objects to look at a position in space. Setting up will keep them from flipping.

Here's an example, hope it's helpful!

I'm o.d.d.
