Hi, I'm wondering how we can change the setting for the default purpose shown in a viewport. Our trees systematically have a rig that come as guides. Everytime we open houdini the default purpose displayed are proxy and guides. We have to manually uncheck guides other wise it's super heavy. Is there a way to change the default setting so it only display the proxy? Thank you.

The default purposes are set on a per-renderer basis in the UsdRenderers.json files found in your HOUDINI_PATH. For Houdini GL in particular, $HFS/houdini/UsdRenderers.json contains:


You can copy the block that describes Houdini GL to a new UsdRenderers.json file in a higher priority location in your HOUDINI_PATH to override these default purposes.

Awesome thank you for the quick answer!
