Hi,

Looks like I can't add a standalone Copnet in obj network, adding a copnet puts it directly into a sop network. Is there a workaround? Is it normal or is it a bug? I really liked having different copnets for different things in obj.

I agree, super annoying. The work around is to edit the shelftool script for copnet, and change the code from sop to object.

change


import toolutils
toolutils.genericTool(kwargs, 'copnet', None,
                                     hou.sopNodeTypeCategory())
to
import toolutils
toolutils.genericTool(kwargs, 'copnet', None,
                                     hou.objNodeTypeCategory())
