PlaceVariant (node)Stamp one member of a Collection onto each site, chosen by Index (0-based, wraps).
Wire a Random Per-Point field into Index for a different variant per site (a tile per lattice cell); a plain number gives every site the same member. Rotation/Scale each take a number or a value field sampled where the copy lands

- Collection (any): the set of members to pick from.
- Points (point): the target sites; one member lands on each.
- Index (any): which member to stamp (0-based, wraps); a number, a field for a per-site draw, or a list (one index per site).
- Base Point (point): the spot on the chosen member that lands on each site; defaults to its centroid.
- Rotation (any): spin about the base before the move; a number, a value field sampled where the copy lands, or a list (one per copy).
- Scale (any): resize about the base before the move; a number, a value field sampled where the copy lands, or a list (one per copy).
- Geometry (any): the stamped copies as a list, each its own group.
Index (typed any) chooses which member of the wired Collection each site receives:
- A number: every site stamps that one member (0-based; it wraps, and negatives count from the end).
- A Random "Per-Point" field: each site draws its own index independently, so every lattice cell gets a different variant.
- Any other value field: sampled per site, so a spatial pattern picks the member.
Rotation and Scale behave like Place's: a number applies uniformly, a value field samples where each copy lands.
