Testing out the new network customization tools [www.sidefx.com] with attaching a shortcut to create a visualizer.

Drop nodegraphhooks.py file in $HOME/houdini16.5/python2.7libs/ select a sop node with an attribute other than P and press shift-x.

Nothing else needed than H16.5. Have you assigned shift-x to something else? Changed your python environment somehow? If you type this in a python terminal you can test if the file is accessed:

import nodegraphhooks
reload(nodegraphhooks)

Put it in C:\Users\'your user name'\Documents\houdini16.5\python2.7libs
Your hotkey setup looks identical to mine.

thank you, that works

viewport doesnt update, but toggling visualization icon, does the trick

Very handy script

what about adding list box, if attribute should show up as vectors or numbers?

That's a Houdini bug. I got that and other display issues when creating visualizers through the gui too.

Yeah, would be nice with options for that. Problem is, then I need to write my custom gui and that might not update very well between Houdini versions. Another solution would be to bring up the settings window for the visualizer but I don't know if that's possible.

For now I'll change it so that it defaults to text if it's not a vector attribute.

Thank you for explanation.
Makes total sense about the custom gui. Defaults you suggested sounds good.
