Hi all,
I'm new to this community. I'm wondering if there a spinedge function for Houdini. Or is there any script for it? I google for it, but found none.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick tips.
Im still getting used to the program. So bear with my noobs question.

OT: It might be obvious, or I might missed it, but everytime I use edgeflip, it create a node for me. Is there a way to collapse the nodes?

Thanks.

That's the nature of Houdini. In general every operation is going to create a new node. It won't slow you down any, I've built models that had thousands of nodes. If you would like to clean up the network, you have some options. You can write the geometry out and read it back in with a File SOP, or you can lock a node and delete the incoming network.

Select all the nodes you wish to collapse and hit Shift-C.
That will create a sub-network node and if you double-click that node you can go inside it and see the collapsed nodes.

Thanks for the reply. Probly I should do the modeling in other package and bring it in later.
