Thanks, Enivob! I'll check that out. I should also make a report about the bind not working.

EDIT: I went ahead and filed the bug report. I still see the warning about attribute mismatch on the merge node, but the displacement is working now.

I'm working through the Dual Mesh [sidefx.com] tutorial using Houdini Apprentice 16. However, the dispdir and dispweight attributes are not being transferred over to the Voronoi mesh's displace1 attribute VOP. This causes the Voronoi mesh not to be displaced. I'm pretty sure I have the correct values in place. (I've included screenshots, including one of the displace1 node's contents.)

I wonder if this could be a bug or something that has changed since Houdini 15.5. I've attached the .hipnc file.

Thanks in advance!

I'm getting Python errors when I access the Help Browser, too. I can open help and the links work, though. I checked Windows Firewall, and Houdini has permission. I'm using Houdini Apprentice 16.0.504.20. I tried malbrecht's suggestion to shut down all Houdini processes and restart, but it didn't totally fix the problem for me.

Here's an example of what I'm seeing:

I just reported the issue to Support, but I'm not sure whether it's actually a bug or not.
