Hi everyone,

I have a question about TOPS on SOPS level.

In SOP, I create a simple geometry shape with basic transformation. After, I used TOPS to generate multiple variation of the shape. Everything works fine!

The only problem is that now that the attribute from the TOPS are use in SOPS, all the affected attributes have a default value of 0. For visualization, it's hard to debug or experiment after that. What is a good workflow for this situation?

Should a duplicate my node and use a switch? (see reference)

You could wrap your network in a digital asset and work on it in sop context,
while in the top network you could use the HDA processor on your new digital asset.
I guess you would need to re-load the digital asset into the hda processor every time you do a modification to the hda.

Maybe there are better solutions, I'm not very experienced with TOPs.

cheers
