How to
Add the Orient node.
Feed in the geometry to move as "feature" — often from Read Feature.
Set "from" and "to" — both Frames, which typically come from a Frame on Polyline node placed at a reference point on each geometry.
The output is the same geometry, repositioned and re-rotated to match the new frame.
