Sorry for posting here, but I've had no success in the RealFlow forums (they don't seem very active)

I have the latest RF plugins for Houdini however they are not working. Inside the RealFlow shelf in Houdini, all the buttons are labelled as “Undefined” and when they are click, give an error such as “Cannot find the tool sop_rf_mesh_import”.

I am also unable to place any of the RF Sop\Rop nodes.

It's as if Houdini is not loading the plugins at all.

I have also tried with later Houdini builds up to the current build as of today (13.0.314)

I didn't work with Real Flow Plug-in ,But are you sure your plug-in version is for Houdini 13 ,Maybe it's for Houdini 12 or 12.5 !

Because If you installed your plug-in on the Houdini correctly ,Houdini can't read “rf_mesh_import SOP” :?

However check it on the Houdini12.5 ,Maybe this problem is for Real Flow Plug-in ,Not Houdini :?

I will download H12.5 and see if the plugin for that version works. The installation package contains RF plugins for both H12.5 and H13, however the H13 ones definitely aren't working.

I have already posted in the Realflow forums, as well as contacted them via email but have not heard anything back yet.

Unfortunately their customer care is not at the high standard of Side Effects

If you are on the Windows (7), be sure you are running V9 build and check correct version (H12.5/H13) in RF installer.

RF plugin doesn't work under V11 build.
