Dear all,

I've been trying to solve this for ages now, and even checked all the forums here, but I can't find a reasonable solution for this problem. Probably you won't remember, but at my team we are developing a procedural urban modeling system, called skylineEngine

as part of it, we have our building modeling tool, called buildingEngine

http//ggg.udg.edu/skylineEngine/modules/buildingEngine/

which comes in the form of a simple OTL file (plus some examples in a ZIP file). We've done hundreds of changes to the library in the last months, and I'd like to release it, but I cannot solve this annoying problem.
Simply put, there are some digital assets in the library that simply do not appear in any Houdini menu, while others do. To make it clearer, inside the OTL here are a dozen digital assets. Most of them run smoothly and without problems. But a few give me serious headaches. In particular, some like Comp, Insert and InsertTex do not appear in the TAB menu. For these three, I usually create a null node and then I “change type” for one of them. Observe the weirdness they are not in the TAB menu, but they are in the change type list! But the case of the CreateBase HDA is even worse, as I can only instantiate it by doing “geo.createNode('CreateBase')” in the python console!
Honestly, I've tried everything I've thought off, but I cannot solve this problem.
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated!!

best regards
