Atom Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I guess it is the scientific notation. 2.68220e-6 is not greater than 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tar Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Yes, it's scientific notation - I'm thinking the artist friendly drive of Houdini's development will most likely remove the e notation at some point. It sadly confuses artists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybar Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I don't think they should remove it. It makes sense if you know just a little bit of math. It's also better than to display zero if it isn't zero, or have it be a really long number that takes up half the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tar Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 a better solution would be to show it as something like '<0.00001' then you can rollover it or set a preference to show full values in 64bit or e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
