You may not want that, I rather suggest you install qLib and you will have a bunch of presets installed on normal translation nodes that allow you to do the centroid quickly, also placing in the center of the world, on the floor, etc... > also, under the Pre-Transform dropdown at the top of the Transforms tab, you > have Clean Transforms/Translate/Rotate/Scale with for my understanding are > basic as the Freeze in XSI. when you Extract these you get your global > transforms and when you Reset them you'd be setting the Pre-Transforms back > to zero… The pretransforms are like XSI neutral pose Regarding Freeze… that is one of the things you may not want to inherit in Houdini. Although at first made sense to me once I got a bit more under the bonnet it was obvious that you can do it without having to rely on freezing. Either by saving to disk, storing the resulting network on the scene or other means. > > hope that makes sense, I thought it to be very straightforward.
