Hi,

I'm trying to update an OTL, the manual says Right click and choose Save node type and it will update the otl on disk.

I drop my otl, make changes. Right click and save node type. Drop another and its the same. Also doesn't show update after restart or saving to library under different name from the type properties.

I am missing something?

Thanks

Ah, the network in the subnet is updating but the parms on the subnet aren't..how to update the interface as well?

Found it, click gear icon and save as permanent default

Permanent Defaults will save to your local user config (~/houdini15.5, or the equivalent on your OS), but the OTL definition itself hasn't been changed. Meaning, if you shared your myTool.hda file, I wouldn't have the parameters you see.

You need to go to RMB > Type Properties after unlocking the OTL; then under the Parameters tab, you can choose to add parameters from scratch or from existing nodes. Then you save the node type, and your definition's new parameters are saved. Here is a quick demo:



Hope that helps!

ah, ic. thanks for the proper way.
