Hi,
what does the red outline around a parameter field mean? See the screenshot of the “polybevel” node for example.

In this older post (https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/31329/) I read it shows that the parameter is bound to the viewport ladder, but this seems to not explain my example (or I am getting it wrong?), because:

A: Right clicking on it and choosing “Unbind all viewport handles” doesn’t remove the red outline
B: Using the middle mouse button (the ladder) in an empty area of the viewport doesn’t change this parameter, it changes the “Division” parameter.

That may not be the most important topic, but I’m still learning Houdini and it drives me mad if I can’t find an explanation for things like this…
