ups.. attachment
Thanks for the effort!
But, I need it just like in the original scene.
First, I need particle "Boxes" to be in "PhysX" mode and then to go smoothly to the plane (perfectly aligned). I need this kind of tyflow structure for some more complicated animation.
I don't have time to play right now with it.
But my first thought's are:
If you want perfect alignment, and perfect position, I would make basically 2 particles system, where one is on the final position, and the other is on the starting position. They must be the same number.
Then you save position with "custom properties" operator the first particles (final position).
And you load that position with same operator (custom properties) for the second particles.
They should go to the final position, and you can make them smooth out with "interpolation" parameter inside "custom operator" (the one that is loaded (on second particles).
At least in theory
Check out the sample files:
In the fracture folder, there is a "face fracture" scene, where it does exactly what I described above (though, they are not moving, just rotating... but it's the same principle...)

then you can use property load data，the tyflow sence simple file have this，the same to your sence
Thanks!
I know about TM data and how it works, but the thing is that if I add PhysX it doesn't work as it should, and even if I switch it off (PhysX), it still doesn't work.
It works only without the PhysX. I have reported it as a bug and tyFlow said it might be a bug.
Could you please let me know where is that "tyflow sence simple file"? What is the name of the file?
In the attachment are files for max 2017 and 2018.
Notice the changes I made in the "custom properties" (the last one, in the last event), and I changed timing to "continuous", and interpolation to 0,1 (so it's smooth).
Maybe that was "bugging" you.

I love you brother, you've even upload it on youtube thank you very much!
But... I have to be honest with you. As I said, I need this for much complex scene. This boxes are going to be 100s small screens that are going to create a grid of display, so it just has to be perfectly aligned. You can see that your boxes are pretty close but it's not perfectly. I already reported this as a bug and tyFlow assumes that it could be a bug. It's probably the PhysX.
So, I just continued working without PhysX, and it works perfectly.
Oh... I see...
If you turn off "spin random" operator in my scene, they should be back in perfect position (I just tested it).
I gave it spin random, only so I make it visually more interesting.
If you want spin to be there, then you can try saving the rotation parameter in custom properties, and load them back.
As for the Physx... maybe it's bug... bot notice this.
Physics by default have gravity that constantly pulls particle down, and you can't expect to work perfectly, because you need to add a force that will fight will gravity all the time.
I just animated gravity in Physics (select tyflow icon, and go to modify panel to find it) so it's zero after the boxes fall down - and it's working

This was a very old upload, and I might have been infected by that time (also by downloading someone's else scenes - lol ).
Just download Security Tools for Autodesk.
This way 3DS Max will recognize every faulty file, and it won't harm your app, and you can just delete these 2 objects. (to tell you the truth, even when I was "infected", I never noticed anything wrong with the scenes).

thank you very much!
