Hi, I am an advanced Houdini user but a newbee for topnet.

I have a wedge sim for 6 sections and only want to re-sim 3 and 5 sections. For instance, if I click a right mouse button to select "dirty and cook this node" to execute wedge sims, this method will re-run all wedges.

How can I select specific wedge numbers to re-run nodes? (I am guessing to either set wedge attributes or use a filterbyexpression node somehow!).

Thanks for your help!

Hi, I am learning how to create my own HDA.

Is it possible to convert an HDA node back to the original subnetwork node? For example, I create a testA HDA node and keep improving it for personal use at home. Then, when I work as a freelancer at a company, they might not allow me to install my HDAs due to the short period of the contract, a custom pipeline, and other reasons. In such cases, I need to revert the testA HDA back to a subnetwork. However, the Subnet UI never goes back to the original, and parameters could be broken. Then I have to copy all nodes from the HDA, paste them, and wrap & reconstruct the subnetwork and its parameters again.

How would you manage your own subnetwork nodes and HDAs in general? My guess is that artists usually keep nodes as subnets and bring them to the working company, creating and installing HDAs only if the production requires it.

Hi, I am learning how to create my own HDA.

My subnetwork is added Visualizer tab, in order to use show style > vector and Show Arrow Tips. This is because it's so convenient to show vector lines, instead of accessing the visualization icon on viewport’s display option.

However, I made its HDA and created its new node, then recognized the node does not generate the Visualizer tab. I think HDA can only take care of Parameters tab, and need to create Visualizer manually every time.

Please let me know if we have a workaround for this problem, thanks!
