Editing Packed Primitives.

Since 13.0

Parameters

Visibility Operations

This tab allows you to control the visibility of primitives. The primitives affected by the operation can be specified by a group, or alternatively, by the path attribute associated with the packed primitive.

Group

The group of primitives affected by the operation.

Packed Names

The names of primitives as specified by the path attribute.

Display As

The viewport LOD for the specified packed primitives.

3D Viewport

Controls the visibility of primitives in the 3D viewport. This is similar to the behavior of the Visibility SOP. This operation can be applied to non-packed primitives as well as packed primitives.

Material Operations

This tab provides a simplified version of the Material SOP to allow simple primitive material assignments.

Group

The group of primitives affected by the operation.

Packed Names

The names of primitives as specified by the “path” attribute.

Material

The material to assign to the primitive. This operation can be applied to non-packed primitives as well as packed primitives.

Lighting Operations

When rendering packed primitives in mantra, it is possible to set the lightcategories property for the packed primitive. This tab provides an interface to set lighting controls on individual packed primitives.

Group

The group of primitives affected by the operation.

Packed Names

The names of primitives as specified by the path attribute.

Light Selection

The value for the lightcategories property.
