Move SOP into image space

When you import a SOP into COPs using SOP Import, the geometry is placed in world space. To frame geometry into the canonical camera’s view, you can use the Rasterize Setup COP. Wire your input geometry into the COP’s source input and adjust its settings to get the desired framing.

See Spaces for more information about spaces.
