Scaling geometry in CopyToPoints operation

[art3mis]

Hi
I have a simple cube copied to a circle in a CopyToPoints SOP.
I want to scale these cubes dynamically based on a custom point attribute, lets call it @age.

How would I accomplish this?

If your points have a float @pscale atribute then CopyToPoints will automatically scale to that amount. I think it will also work with vector called @scale, and scale them in x/y/z.

Make a pointWrangle and try either of the below to see it working

f@pscale = rand(@ptnum);

v@scale = rand(@ptnum);
