Hi,

Does anyone have a clearly defined workflow on how to share a custom shelf between users. Not a shelf set . Its just not that clear in the docs. There seems to be no simple import or export feature ……….

It's pretty straightforward. You just add new shell in houdini and save it to a new file.When you adding new tools, just save them to a newly created shelf file, NOT the default.shelf.

That's it. Now you can share this file. It must be either in $HOME/houdiniXX/toolbar or somewhere in HOUDINI_PATH.

I wish I could agree ….

houdini.env file

HOUDINI_PATH =/Volumes/somevolume/anothervolume/rse_shelftools:$HFS/houdini/toolbar

generates a hard crash on boot up via the shell.
