I am absolute beginner with Houdini and this is hopefully trivial question. After starting Houdini (out of the box settings and default project) I am trying to add a plane and sphere. When adding these primitives it takes about 40 seconds. In status line I can see it is doing lots of commands (evaluating Python, running Hscripts…). I would expect this part to be fast and simple. This is not about rendering, just adding objects to scene.
I am running Apprentice version 15.5.673 on laptop with 32GB RAM, GForce 8800M with 6 GB video memory, plenty of disk space.
Thanks.
Very slow object creation

Moin,
this is definitely not how it should behave. 15.5.673 Apprentice/Indie works smoothly on my system here, creating default geometry takes about 1/4 second.
Maybe there is something odd with your Python installation (you did not mention what system you are running), maybe something is filling up your syslog … there are just way too many parameters to guess what might go wrong, so maybe you could post some more details about how/where you are using Houdini … and if you should be on Windows, try creating a new user and install Houdini there, my wife is capable of garbaging up her windows accounts so that *everything* crawls to a halt and the only response she ever gives when asked “whatyado” is “nuffing!”.

Out of here. Being called a dick after having supported Houdini users for years is over my paygrade.
I will work for money, but NOT for "you have to provide people with free products" Indie-artists.
Good bye.
