Hi

I have a digital asset I made at Obj level, is there any way to “move” it to the Sop context?

I tried to switch the toggle to sop, like in the screenshot and matching the current definition, but that didnt work…

Any help?

I just did it.

For anyone who comes across this:
In the same tab you can see in my screenshot, on the left, delete the tool by hitting the “x” button, then up that in the “Create New” menu, select the “default tool” option, and then respecify the context in both “Network Pane” and “Viewer Pane”.

Is this feature removed? I don’t see this ‘Tools' tap in the the Type Properties..

Any chance of doing this in Houdini 18?

tools Tab was just moved to Interactive/Shelf Tools

and while you can create a tool that appears in different context, it will not make your HDA a different context because the contexts are not compatible, that's why they are “different”

Thanks I see, what’s still confusing to me tho is this:
Does the context that the asset is created in also matter besides the context the asset contains?

For example I created a subnet in SOP level, which I now want to have on obj level as a geo node.. both types contain the context ‘Geometry’/SOP, but I do not get when I change the context, (did also delete and readd like @SteN said)
