Is there a method to retrieve a given USD parm's "control" parm? Maybe I'm missing it, but not seeing anything specific in hou.Parm. I can try predicting the name of the control parm based on the name of the USD attribute, but that's hit or miss.
EDIT: Or must all control parm names end in "_control"?

I'd assume it's just the _control extension to the parm tuple name (since I don't know of any special relationships between parms and there seem to be no tags present that would establish that)
since you are dealing with lop property names with potential special characters don't forget to decode/encode
so naively I'd say something like this may work, but you'll have to test it

# if parm is original parm node = parm.node() parm_tuple = parm.tuple() if isinstance(parm, hou.Parm) else parm control_parm_name = hou.text.encode(hou.text.decode(parm_tuple.name()) + "_control") control_parm = node.parm(control_parm_name) print(control_parm.path())
