As well as setting up a group first time around, also declare a variable for you purpose to: int result=0; If(condition){ @group_grp=1; result=1; } Later, in the wrangle: if(result){ do something; }

edit: I think I misinterpreted your question. You can query using point or detail expression.

Well, if you appreciate that tip you might like these sets. I used to hate node shapes when sesi introduced them. But since its fully customizable, it went out of controls now. Let me know what you think.

For node’s color and shapes, you don’t have to set them up in OnCreated script at all. If you hold ctrl and drag Shape OR Color to any nodes in networkEditor, that action get saved as your default Shape and or Color.

Sorry for the late reply, thanks.

`chs("Category")`

Hi John, Thanks for the script. You might want to include all camera attributes that comes with the alembic file. also instead of baking it to frame range on houdini playbar, you can get the range exactly as it was exported using this line: import _alembic_hom_extensions as abc abc.alembicTimeRange(hou.ch("fileName"))[0] * hou.fps() abc.alembicTimeRange(hou.ch("fileName"))[1] * hou.fps()

You can have multiple files for each hda. as long as the naming is consistent, It'll show up in the same nodetype. Also when you want to tweak the hda, it is good practice to "copy" the hda into user's otlpath and put version 0 (overwriting any existing ones) into it. Once user is happy they can publish it back to a shared otlpath as a new version.

Yes, Use output node and set the output index

Using time shift sop and this expression: $F-($F%2)

If you got the cluster from pcopen command, wouldn’t the centerpoint be @P?

Is this what you are after? I hope it helps. ftaswin_cam_triggered_alembic_animation.hip

from a point wrangler you can do this : Instead of "set", you can also put: add,min, minimum,max, maximum,mult, multiply,toggle,append.

Look into hou.Node.saveItemsToFile() We have been using this system for years with great feedback from artists.

@Librarian Great result! I'd loved to know how you use the rules and where it is plugged to Thanks
