when I use the quadremesher in a for each loop like for each connected piece some pieces get lost
I guess this is due to the remesher saving out a .fbx file and when the loop is moving to the next piece some don't get merged in before that.

has anybody encountered this as well / found a solution?

I found a solution by adding a foreach metadata, and append the iteration number to the exoside fbx-file saving parameter.

Hi Jose,
if I may ask, I'm wondering where can you append that matadata into in the Houdini Quadremesher node?

Hi, is this still an issue?
Jose, where in the quadremesher node can you insert the metadata iteration number in Houdini?

Just in case anyone else is having this issue. In Labs Exoside Quadremesher->Advanced->Cache File this is my path.
${HIP}/render/${HIPNAME}_${OS}_QR_output_`detail("../foreach_begin1_metadata1", "iteration", 0)`.fbx

Hey sjc000com,

In case anyone else has this issue, I'm by no means sure about the fix, but with a for each by count, I am able to get this working by matching the name of the count node.

i.e.

${HIP}/render/${HIPNAME}_${OS}_QR_output-panel-`detail("../foreach_count1", "iteration", 0)`.fbx

When the name of the count node is: "foreach_count1"

I played with a few iterations until I could see the render fbx files pop up on the file system.

Also, noticed that dropbox causes issues since it locks the file at times. So turning that off and adding in the suggested fix now works like a champ.
