Greeting Houdini users!

Does anyone know if it's possible to embed a PDG network inside an HDA?
I get my PDG Network to process as long as the HDA stays unlocked(don't want). However the first node fails when the HDA is locked.

Of course I could generate a PDG network on the fly from the HDA but before I go through the effort of doing that I was wondering if I was doing something wrong by locking an HDA with embedded PDG network.

Thanks

I don't have the answer for your question, but you can add your PDG Network to the “Editable Nodes” section under the Node tab on you HDA properties.

Then all of your HDA is locked, but the PDG Network inside the HDA is unlocked.

This isn't something you'd usually would want to do, but I guess it would be good in this case.

This a great suggestion!

Not sure why I didn't think of that

Cheers!
