Hello,

I started to make a cop hda but now the default node name is stuck to the first name i give to the hda : copPyTest

How can i change that ?

thanks

Try “Operator Type Manager” from the RightMouseButton Menu on the HDA.
(Right above “Type Properties”)
Then duplikate yout tool and set a new name.
Save everything and restart Houdini.
Insert your HDA again and go to Operator Type Manager again. Now delete the “wrong named” HDA.
This was the only solution I found after fiddling with the same problem.
If there is a better way, I'm interested, too :-)

thanks

I ll try that

Bump wondering if there is an easier solution to this. Want to change name of a lot of my assets

there is copyToHDAFile() function so you can automatize the process over a lot of assets

There should be an easier way to do this. I ended up creating a new hda and copying all the contents of one to another.
