Hey all,

I'm checking out Houdini Apprentice and love it so far. I'm following the First Step tutorial videos provided and am on the third example of the first video in which Ari is showing how particle systems work. I'm attempting to follow along, but when I try to add a pop network into my sphere object, Houdini throws an error. This error:

The attempted operation failed.
Details:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “model_popnet”, line 7, in <module>
File “/Library/Frameworks/Houdini.framework/Versions/13.0.314/Resources/houdini/python2.7libs/hou.py”, line 22378, in setName
return _hou.Node_setName(*args, **kwargs)
OperationFailed: The attempted operation failed.

I was running version 13.0.237 but just updated to .314 and I get the same error. Has something changed since the tutorial was created in regards to POPs or is this a bug? I've attached my simple file in case anyone wants to try to replicate the issue. Thanks for any help in advance.
