Hi All,

I am watching video tutorials and I see the instructors selecting objects and dragging them around with the transform widget. My Houdini Apprentice, 12.5 does not do that.

For example I create a cube in an empty scene. When I begin to drag along an axis the widget and object geometry disappears until I let go of the mouse. With this as a default operation I have no way to really align anything visually.

Is there anyway to change this so when I drag an object with the widget I can see it move in the viewport?

Thank You

Very lower right, change ‘On Mouse Up’ to ‘Auto Update’

oooooh!! that's what “on mouse up” means!!..

haha I feel very dumb right now but couldn't figure out what that meant before..

seems really useful to change parameters on heavy scenes..

Good info here:
