Ok guys. Need help with a new issue.
I created 4 simple walls in Houdini and assigned them 4 points with the attributes "unreal_mesh_socket_name“ and ”unreal_mesh_socket_actor" for the doors.
Then, I imported the .hda to UE4.. and all goes fine, the doors are placed in the sockets points.
But there is a problem with the orientation of them; all relative rotation of them are:
{0,0,0}

And 2 of them should be:
{0,0,-90}

I tried diferent methods to change point normals inside Houdini (polyframe..sweeps, etc) and always the same problem,.. seems HoudiniEngine only places the socket_points at locations bypassig the orientation of them.

Hi,

This does seems like a bug to me, I don't think that we take the point's normal into account for the socket's orientation. I'll get back to you on that soon!

Thanks again dpernuit,
for the moment I solved it rotating the meshes 90º before. That way, when importing the .HDA it places the meshes rotated/not rotated right in the sockets.

In other way, yesterday I tried with Instanced Input Meshes ..and same problem.

In the following example, the green_doors must to be adjusted 90º in Rotation Offset.

Hi!

It seems that this bug is still here. Instances don't use the point normal.
Is there a way to orient instances on the sockets?

Thanks
