Hey team,

When I am trying to import a solaris based HDA(even a basic one, that just exports a sphere) Maya throws an error saying
"// Error: Invalid argument given: Invalid manager type.",where as SOP based HDAs are working fine. Which to me seems like Houdini Engine doesn't have support for LOP based HDAs, or am I doing something wrong?

We disable LOPs and anything that may bring in any of Houdini's UI libraries as it can cause conflicts with the libraries used in other applications. We err on the side of caution, but you are able to re-enable them at your own risk.

In the mod file for Houdini Engine for Maya, remove USD_Opsfrom HOUDINI_DSO_EXCLUDE_PATTERN. This file can be found inside the modules folder inside Maya's installation location.
