Joss Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 For some reason i've got my Houdini help with no search feature working, and although i''ve tried to read it, didn't found some answers: 1. Suppose, i've got imported obj with primGroups aaa1-aaa50. I'd like to select interactively some of these, and delete. I'm able to do it with select tool, and by appending Group sop next to it, but in this case, group node contains point ranges, not primGroup names. Is it possible somehow to get names of primitive groups selected with select tool? 2. in Group node, combine tab, i can type in names of the groups i'd like to combine into single one. What format should i use, to, for example, combine first 20 groups? I've tried aaa[1-20], aaa[1..20], but it doesnt works. Typing "aaa1 aaa2 aaa3 aaa4..." is stupid and there should be some more elegant method. Anyone? Also, why Group node doesn't cleanup groups i've just combined? Is there any way to do this? Maybe i should use "delete" field in next tab? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sibarrick Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 The answer to question one is just to put down a delete sop in the network editor not the viewport then pick them from the group menu dropdown. You can't do it with the select tool in the viewport without it converting them to prim numbers. For question 2 I think this is a limitation of the group sop, you could try aaa? aaa1? aaa20 And yes you cleanup manually with the delete field.

symek Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Uhmm...guys, nobody knows?? 26607[/snapback] to delete group which is already in geometry you don't have to put a group sop again, just use delete with proper group value or select point group then choose operator and... "right click to complete". Groups from obj files are not fully supported. If you create geo in Houdini with groups and you choose one in viewport, you see group name not point range. hope this help, SY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
