Descriptive Parameter to Node

[gemini]

Hi,

I found a very useful thing in docs but seems like not working for me unfortunately.

Can anyone help ?

I tried to add a descriptive parm to a node ( the same as a digital asset has ):

node.setUserData("descriptiveparm", "parm")  

THX!

Hi there! 

I just tried to set the descriptive parameter on a geometry sphere and it works.

n = hou.node("/obj/sphere1")
n.setUserData("descriptiveparm", "parm")
n.userData("descriptiveparm")
>>'parm'

what exactly is not working for you ?

Thanks,

I used it on an object level ROP network node, where I created an own string parameter. Like this:

n = hou.node('/obj/ropnet_wip_v6_dRop_2_3')
n.setUserData("descriptiveparm", "prog")
n.userData("descriptiveparm")

Not works!

Is it works only on sop node ?

THX!

This doc does say that it won't override the descriptive parm on certain nodes. 

http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/network/options.html

But I just tried it on an object level ROP network node and it worked.

Did you try to get the userDataDict() on the node ? 

n = hou.node('/obj/ropnet_wip_v6_dRop_2_3')
n.userDataDict()

Which version of Houdini are you using ? Did you try setting any other user data and see if it's working ? 

Thanks

Sorry, It works. I replaced the label with the parm name itself.

THX!!
