Hi!

I made a brick wall and set it's primitive color to brown. Later, I started setting up a simulation of a giant ball smashing through the wall.

After the assemble sop (to pack primitives) I used a point wrangle to set the bottom of the wall to be non-active (i@active = 0). I wanted to see the i@active with a visualize sop but I only see the brown color I previously set.

What am I doing wrong?

Nothing unfortunately; packed geo doesn't play well with visualisers. Workaround is to convert packed geo to points, visualise your attributes on the points.

Use an add sop before the visualiser with ‘delete geometry but keep the points’ enabled.

And then log a bug with sidefx.
