Looking at previous threads, it appears that the best way to get documentation about toolutils module is to find the corresponding py file in this folder

C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini XX.X.XXX\python26\lib

However, I cannot seem to find the actual module in there even after string searches inside of the modules in the folder and subfolder. Which file should I be looking for?

Thanks!

You need to be looking in the Python folders located in $HFS/houdini.

For example, C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 12.0.642\houdini\python2.6libs

ah perfect! thank you!

Hello, why is the module toolutils separated from hou? And why the documentation is not on sidefx? Is it a module created by other people? I'm confused


Can I do the following with just the hou module, without toolutils?


I'm not able to get an instance of the sceneViewer class just with the hou module
any help welcome!

cheers

Andr
import toolutils
viewer = toolutils.sceneViewer()
viewer.displayRadialMenu(“myCustomRadialMenu”)

thanks a lot Vux!
