# alignToPath

An option that controls the prim’s orientation as it revolves.

## Discussion

The default value is `false`, in which the object maintains its orientation as it travels along the orbit path. Set a value of `true` to reorient the object to face the center as it orbits.

### Declaration

```other
uniform bool alignToPath = false
```
