bluciensky Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 As I am working with heavy geo, I want to keep my houdini session as 'Manual'. Although it would be convenient if there was a shortcut instead of clicking the two arrows to cook it. I've found a script that toggle between auto update/manual mode, but that's not what I am looking for. I've seen a person who's doing this with shortcut with a script. How do I set this up? Thank you!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkunz07 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 If you have a script like 'ForceUpdate.py' in your houdini scripts/python dir you can set an alias for it like: hou.hscript("alias F9 'python -c \"ForceUpdate.ForceUpdate()\"' ") That assumes that the updating is done in a function named 'ForceUpdate()' in the file 'ForceUpdate.py' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluciensky Posted October 22, 2015 Author Share Posted October 22, 2015 Ah! my colleague also told that I can just easily assign it from houdini edit -> hotkeys. I didn't realize it has the option there already for 'force update'. Works wonderfully...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
