  1. opspareds "parmdesc" nodes ...

Tip

This command is generally only used internally by Houdini. For basic manipulation of spare parameters, use the spare parameters editor or the opspare command.

opspareds lets you describe spare parameters at a lower level, using the dialog script format. While this is generally only used internally, it is possible for you to view the dialog script generated by Houdini for a spare parameter (using the opscript command with the -p option), edit it by hand, and insert the edited parameter description into a node or nodes using this command.

Examples

opspareds 'parm { name spareparm label "Spare Parm 1" type vector }' geo1
Adds the parameter described by the dialog script (in single quotes) to the geo1 node.
