Hello everyone, I'm new to Houdini and converting from Softimage. I'm in the middle of a procedural modeling tutorial and can't find a VOP SOP node and used VOP Attribute node instead is this new to version 14? Also, when inside a if then node I can't seem to locate the add point to group node is the an alternative in 14?

Thanks,

Chance

The Attribute VOP node was new with 12.5. With 14.0 we've completed our attempts to migrate to it from the old VOP SOP. So it is the proper replacement.

The Set Attribute VOP can be set to Point Group for the class for the equivalent of the old Add Point to Group.

I'm still not able to add points to group using the Attribute VOP and Set Attribute node. I'm trying to add the edge points of a grid to a group called
corners to be transformed.

I created several screen shots to help illustrate my setup.

Once this issue is solved… I'm going tackle a point wrangler node using VEX!

Thanks again for the help!

Value is unwired, and the default value for it will be 0. Thus that is removing the points from Corners, and as they are removed by default, results in that uninteresting result.

MMB on the value of the set attribute and build a constant node, and change it to 1.
