They fixed it quicker than it took me to make a video showing how annoying it
could be!
I have a question regarding attributes.. In ICE. I use ‘pointreferenceframe’
all the time for finding the orientation at a surface for making deformers.
In Houdini, there are not all these useful attributes that ICE has by default.
I can make a thing that calculates a homemade orientation a-la
PointReferenceFrame, and it works but it takes up a huge amount of nodes. Also,
you can’t just ‘get’ it. It needs loads of inputs on the tree that’s finding it.
Firstly. I don’t see that you can store a matrix per-point attribute. Is it
possible?
How would an experienced Houdini person deal with getting/calculating
Pointreferenceframe on a surface?

I can tell you, that is not unusual.

Good morning,
this is the awesome support at SideFX
Available in the daily builds.
yesterday
Houdini 16.0.561 Added a hotkey to temporary toggle the state of the
"Allow Dropping Nodes on Wires" preference while in the middle of dragging a
node.

No problem Jonathan.
A quick update to this following discussions with SideFX:
1) I don't recall if this was mentioned in the thread earlier, but they
mentioned that you can enable/disable the auto-connect on wires using CTRL+8 or
in the Network View menu under Tools-> Allow Dropping Nodes on Wires. This
doesn't work during a drag operation though, so I've gone back and explained
the desired workflow of having a modifier key to toggle the behaviour during
the dragging of nodes. I just thought I'd post this in here now case it's
useful to anyone in the mean time.
2) They pointed out that I was incorrect when I said earlier in this thread
there wasn't an equivalent view of Softimage's Explorer view where you can see
clean hierarchies of objects. You can do it in the Tree View. You just need to
enable the Object Filter (the first button in the Tree View's tool bar). You
can also right click on the Tree View toolbar, and there are various other
options in there which can be helpful for sorting and grouping the objects in a
tree structure. Definitely worth playing with anyway. Sorry for the
misinformation before!
Cheers,

I also like Pauls idea of a modifier key to disable the auto connection
on demand. Definitely seems a worthwhile enhancement request.
FYI, I’ve submitted an RFE to Side Effects and sent them the link to this
thread.
