I was looking at an example file on how to use pop replicate.

In it the person preceeded pop replicate with a pop stream node.

In that node they define what seems to be a local attribute/variable to be used by the network to decide if pop replicate will emit.

It's a very usefull approach and I'm glad I found it as it's what I needed for something I was working for.

The thing is, unless I came across this example file, there is no way I could have found this out through reading documentation.

I can find no references to ‘ingroup’ anywhere.

I've looked under standard pop local vairables:

http://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/nodes/pop/popLocals.html [www.sidefx.com]

and under the POP stream, POP Replicate, POP Network and POP Solver docs; but no reference to ‘ingroup’ anywhere.

This is a curiosity at this point, but I might point it out to support if no one knows where the reference is.

Anyone know where this might be referenced in the docs?

it's just how streams work

and under the POP stream, … docs; but no reference to ‘ingroup’ anywhere.

in Rule/VEXpression part

Thanks Tomas for the reference link on streams…I see P. Quint has video that's not too old up in the tut section. I should read/watch both.

Swore I did a ctrl+f in my browser for the POP Stream/Replicate pages…but your right..it's there.

thanks again.
