Round off to third decimal places Dec. 14, 2022, 5:05 a.m.

Assuming adding a layer of vex to convert from float to string is a pain, the ftrim() expression can be used to pretty print floats as strings.ftrim(detail(-1, "test", 0))
Thanks @jsmack for showing me how to use ftrim expression this is helpful, although I can't trim to how many decimals I want. Although with
sprint("%.3f", 0.7838759687)
I believe adding
sprintf

as mentioned previously, it's has to do with floating point precision
even if you do: f@target = 0.998;
you will see that the Font SOP will still print something else, like: 0.99800002574920654
it's because it can't represent 0.998 precisely as a floating point number
so you'll need to format your floating point number into a string using sprintf() for example
From Tomas attachment there's some function & argument am not familiar with, so incase someone is struggling as I was
When you use
sprint("%f", floatValue);
This work whether you type hard core floats or you're using chf values.
When you want to trim decimal places like 1 or 2 or 3 decimal place you will have to write like
sprint("%.2f", floatValue);
Hopefully this will be helpful as well.

Anyone got Substance Archive working in Houdini? I've tested the Archive in Substance Player and Maya working fine, when I load it in Houdini I can't get substance parameters. ANy help will be appreciated, thank you.
I finally found that Substance archive in Houdini should be old version, I tried Substance Designer 2019 and it worked as expected.
