Is there a polygon limit for HDAs? I have a stash node storing about 80m polygons inside an HDA and when I save it, its about 2GB on disk. When I try to load it in houdini it doesnt load. Instead its just a blank HDA that gets placed down with nothing inside.

Here's a link to the HDA as its too big to attach to the post

This test HDA just has a grid with 100m polygons and a mountain node which then gets saved with a stash node. The HDA exports fine, but when importing it just loads a blank with nothing inside.

maybe you can try to use freeze the node(the left button of the node) instead of using stash

Sadly freeze gives exactly the same results. Thanks for the suggestion tho!
