I'm confused about pop attributes. The docs show @nage as an attribute however it does not show up in the Geometry section of the popobject in the geometry spreadsheet. Apparently in pops @attrib calls effect node properties that effect the sim and not geometry attribs. however may attribs are shown in the geometry spreadsheet. But not @nage. is there are reason for this? or is there another way to see the values of @nage.

Thanks

Well @nage is just the normalized age. To acquire it just use a fit.
@nage = fit(@age,0,@life,0,1);

Apparently @nage is a virtual attribute. I don't know what a virtual attribute is. But i guess that means its an attribute that isn't shown in the spreadsheet.

This confuses all the new users alot and normalized age is whats gets used all time for effects. I think its should always be propagated to sops. I hope sesi will change this behaviour in future.
