Do you have a node called "geo1" at the object level?

[san]

yea

Well the code works fine for me. It is obviously not finding "/obj/geo1" in your scene which is why 'g' isn't getting assigned. If the node exists it will work, if not then I don't know what else to say.

i got it when i create geometry the new default name is not geo1 dont know why..

So? Do you have the node /obj/geo1 or not?

The code works for me as well.

try this:

g = hou.node('/obj/geo1')

sometimes "/obj/geo1" causes problems compared to '/obj/geo1'

>>> g = hou.node("/obj/geo1")

>>> g

>>> g

>>> g.path()

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<console>", line 1, in <module>

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'path'

>>> g = hou.node("/obj/geo1")

>>> g

>>> g.path()

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<console>", line 1, in <module>

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'path'

According to this code it doesn't exist, simply because it printed None when you typed 'g' in the second line. Also, if it had been assigned correctly, you would have seen something along the lines of "Result: <obj geo1 blah blah blah>". If the node doesn't exist, do something like g = hou.node('/obj').createNode('geo','geo1').
