The value of point attribute when running over primitives? 2025年5月5日4:57
Yeah, @N is special in its own way, but in a different way. It gives you the geometric normal of the primitive, not the average of any point normals. So even if there's no N attribute, Houdini still provides it based on the primitive's shape.
That's what I meant by @Cd, @N and other attributes won't give you the same result, i.e. the average of the same attribute for all the points of the primitive.

The value of point attribute when running over primitives? 2025年5月5日3:44
@P is normally a point attribute, but in a Primitive Wrangle, Houdini binds it to the centroid of the primitive — the average of its points’ positions. It's a special case. Other attributes like @Cd or @N won’t behave this way.
Python: How to get the active Network Editor pane? 2025年5月4日6:22
Yes, that’s one way to do it — incrementing the index until it returns None.
In my code, I usually try to get the pane under the cursor first, and if it’s not the type I’m looking for, I fall back to getting the first instance like this:
