Hi there,

I'm working on digital asset and I want promote the selection operation from groups when I press the enter key.

I share the example files also (I did the example with a simple subnet I think should be work in the same way).

How can I do it?

Thanks for you help and have a great weekend

Matteo

your action button script needs 'grouptype' and 'ordered' parms to be promoted from group to your HDA since it is using them to know what type of selection you want

if however you just want unordered point group as your current group sop suggests just change the action button script to this and you dont have to promote those parms:
import soputils
kwargs['geometrytype'] = hou.geometryType.Points
kwargs['inputindex'] = 0
soputils.selectGroupParm(kwargs)

I did a variable for path and works

Thanks Tomas for your help

 
import soputils
path = kwargs['node'].path()+'/goal'
kwargs['node'] = hou.node(path)
kwargs['geometrytype'] = hou.geometryType.Points
kwargs['inputindex'] = 0
soputils.selectGroupParm(kwargs)
