opproperty command

Creates spare properties from a set of pre-defined properties

All Usage Options Examples

Usage

  • opproperty -R [-q]

  • opproperty -l [pattern [category]]

  • opproperty [-f] [-e] [-F folder] node pattern properties

Options

-R

Reload all property definitions. The -q option makes this operation perform “quietly” (without reporting success)

-l

List information about pre-defined properties.

  • With no arguments, the command lists all top level categories.

  • When you specify a pattern, the command prints the parameters for all matching top level categories.

  • When you specify a category along with a pattern, the command prints only parameters for that category.

-f

(Force) Bypass the filtering check when adding properties.

Properties have a filter associated with them. This filter indicates to which Houdini node types the properties should be added. With the -f option, properties may be added to any node.

-F

Specify the folder to which the properties should be installed. Usually properties will be installed in the top-level folders of nodes. This option allows the properties to be installed as a sub-folder of an existing folder.

Examples

opproperty -l mantra*

Lists all properties associated with the top level mantra categories.

opproperty -f -F Render /obj/model mantra* *shading*

Installs all the parameters defined for mantra that contain shading in their name. Since the parameters are intended to be added to Property SHOPs, the -f option allows addition to the geometry object. The -F option states that the properties should be installed in the Render folder of the object’s parameters.
