I've found remarkably little information about this, besides posts from years ago that said hou.setGlobalFrameRange should do it but it hasn't been implemented.

I know how to do this with hou.script, but I'd like a python equivalent and since the question has been out there for over 10 years I'd figured it must exist by now.

thanks for any help,
dani

In the docs…

Not implemented, that I know of. The playbar methods only affect the playback range, not the global scene range.

I can't find it in the docs - playbar is about modifying frame ranges within a max framerange that is already set.
I - and frankly scores of others at my company - can't find the tset or fset functionality.

If you know what duplicates that functionality please point me to the function, not to the general doc page.

Thanks!!!!

I was afraid of that - and yet setGlobalFrameRange has been announced since houdini 10 at least if I believe. And I'm pretty sure it wouldn't take long to put in place. I guess I'll use hscript() for now but this is long overdue.
