Create HDA without a subnetwork?

[Tomoka]

I’m currently trying to create an HDA without using a subnetwork. When I attempted to create a digital asset by selecting the SOP Import node in Copernicus (as shown in the first image), Houdini automatically created a subnetwork, and I couldn’t see the geometry (points) (as seen in the second image).

Is there a way to create an HDA without the automatic creation of a subnetwork? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You cant.

If you want save network nodes as asset save it to the gallery  and use shelftool script

gal = hou.galleries.galleryEntries('asset name')[0]
create = gal.createChildNode(hou.node('context'))
create.extractAndDelete()

There are some HDA types that can be created without using a subnet like the old VEX operator type (not CVEX), and Python operator type, but I don't think you can do this using the new COP context.
