I've just started to look at Houdini but find the way rotation and translation works a little too pinicky for my liking.
Is there a way to translate in screen space for instance, a la Maya? At the moment I keep having to position an object once for XZ pos and then again in Y to get it in place.
If anyone knows how to make Houdini a little bit closer to Maya when it comes to the simple Xform controls (alt + clicking on handles to lock in axis, alt + click in middle of handles for screen space etc) it'd be great to hear. Or just how to get the Houdini controls to be quicker..?
Thanks!

Actually view translation/rotation/scaling is much better in Houdini.

You can also simply turn off the grid visibility and the controls becomes in screen space. I like to work that way. So no real need to Align Handle - view I guess…
