Hi,

i have one very big wish about Houdini, and here i try to explain my point.

Example:

You have a big object, let say a reference image, or another object or anything else big.
The dimension does not care for my point.

Now if i zoom into the view, for example to correct the position of two objects in detail.
For example, i have an object and i try to fit a reference image on it,
or i have two objects and try to align them manually

The point is, if the center (pivot) of the object, that i want to move, is outside of my view,
the tool (there arrows and circles where i can modify the transform on it) is no longer displayed,
because it is outside of the view window (some kilometers/miles away)

So im forced to correct the position on the parameter panel, because handle is "gone"

This maybe ok, but please understand my point ...
i come from SoftImage|XSI (yeah - high expectations user - haha :-)
and SoftImage|XSI still display the tool handle, even the object pivot where the handle located is outside of the view.

I hope you understand my point.

I really like to make a wish to Houdini.

I would suggest, in the Preference -> Handles
a new option with the name "Display Handles even pivot is outside the view"
with the according functionality ... per default off to not confuse long term users

That would be so mega great ...
