Hello all, new to Houdini (obviously) and I have a question about my first project. I cached out my sim of the Column fracturing project and there was render error on one of my Frames (some columns vanished) so I re-rendered that specific frame and then brought in the cached geos into the project.

Whenever I apply a shader material to the file, It will not give me an “inside” selection to apply a shader to the inside of the columns. I suspect this metadata was lost due to the second render, but I am not certain and wish to be thorough. By the way this seems like a really great community, i look forward to learning more. Many thanks. :smile:

could You attach hip file? that would be more clear what exactly happened inside your scene.
