Hello Houdini community, allow me to ask a question please, I created a custom int attribute, and I want to use its name to access it's value in an expression to extrude one primitive, I want to write the expression both using VEX and also the Python way, but I'm lost, help please……

You can promote the detail attribute to the primitive level then use an expression like so…
@choose_prim == 2
But of course your primitive numbers may change after the polyextrude because you are adding new faces.
