Stylesheets with packed and groups doubt

What I could be doing wrong that I can't assign a material to a primitive group of a packed object? I have the outside group and inside group and the primitive group condition for primitive groups does not work.

Can someone give me a hand?

Thanks.

Sorry maybe I couldn't explain correctly my problem so I am going to try be clearer.

In the file I have a packed fracture object where I want to change my “inside” and “outside” materials using style sheets, so if I try to assign materials to those respectively groups created by the voronoi fracture using the “target” and the “condition” option to “primitive groups” and type the group names it doesn't work but if I type “1500-1800” on the group name you can see some primitives getting the material, so my problem is to understand how use group names correctly in the style sheets, I was hoping that someone could help me with that.

Thanks in advance.

Just in case if someone is wondering if I watched the Sidefx videos about style sheets yes i've watched all off them but no of them can provide me with answers regarding issues with RBD packed fragments and primitive groups, I must be missing something.

Yeah this is a little tricky; you have to assign the target: primitive, then add a sub-target: of primitive also; then on the sub-target, add a primitive group condition.
I'm o.d.d.

If you look my file you are going to see that I just did that but it doesn't work I am starting to think that it is a bug.

You're right, it's something to do with packed fragments. If you toggle Pack Geometry Before Copying on the Copy SOP, and un-click Create Packed Geometry on the Assemble, it works fine since they're packed geometries. Or if you unlock the Assemble, and turn off Create Fragments on the Pack SOP.

Hopefully someone with a deeper knowledge can chime in with more insight as to why, because to me it feels like a bug as well.

I think it's a bug, I'll submit a RFE.

There is a workaround, if you are interested. You can use an attribute to represent the inside group instead.

Dude!

You rock it works like a charm, I just wish that it could work with group names and fragments but this is already going to save me a lot of time on look dev.

Thanks!

I still can't use groups with packed fragments in style sheets I thought that it would be working by now.
I can use attributes but with groups would be more intuitive for sure.

Anyone else having this issue or it is just me?

I have just looked into style sheets as I need to access groups from packed/instanced geometry and yes when I use a group name in the ‘Value’ field nothing happens, but when I use a number (primitive number?) it works just fine. Im using Houdini 16.0.705.

As long as it is a packed fragment it is not going to work, Sidefx needs to look at this I've already sent them a bug report but it is still not working on 16.5

Hi, if you're still trying to resolve this, there is an easy workaround:
use name SOP to generate name attribute based on group names, then use that name to pack your geo. That will give you packed fragments based on group names (it will have Path attrib including the original group name). In the style sheet, target ‘Primitive name or path attrib’ instead of ‘Primitive group’ and you should be set.

See the picture in attachment.
