Houdini 20.5 Nodes APEX nodes

graph::UpdateNodeParms

Updates the parameters on a node in an APEX graph.

On this page	Inputs Outputs
Since	20.0

Updates the parameters on a node in an APEX graph. The parameter values set by this node are used only if their corresponding ports are not connected in the graph - values from port connections take precedence over the values set by this node. For information on how node parameters are used, see APEX graph ports.

The graph ports of this node are in-place ports, which means that the graph is updated without creating a copy.

Inputs ¶


                *graph:
                    ApexGraphHandle

Required

The graph that contains the node to update.


                nodeid:
                    ApexNodeID

                parms:
                    Dict

The dictionary mapping node port names to parameter values that is used to update the node’s parameters.


                clear:
                    Bool

If set to True, resets all existing parameters to their default values before updating their values using parms.

Outputs ¶


                *graph:
                    ApexGraphHandle

Pass-through of the corresponding graph input.


                nodeid:
