Hello pals.
I have a question about the ability to pack multiple HDAs into one in Houdini.
For instance, all SOP HDAs are stored at OPlibSop.hda Can we do something like this on our own HDAs?
Thank you so much.

you can save as many hdas as you want into a single .hda file, just choose the same file when creating your HDA
you can also use Asset Manager to merge libraries (.hda files) or do some other operations

Saving multiple HDAs on a single HDA works perfectly.

you can RMB to any asset type, choose Copy... and specify which .hda you want to save it to

or in RMB on the whole library (.hda file path) and choose Merge With Library ...
