I am wondering if there is a way to animate a turntable as in the Digital Tutors lesson for Houdini w/o Keyframes(Expressions/CHOPS…)? I don't have my file with me but I will say that I am starting with just a Circle object and a Sphere object just to test.
I know I asked in the Apprentice Section, I am asking here also because I feel I might get more response.

how about parent your object (or your camera) to a null and put $FF in the y rotation of the null.
use fit($FF,1,240,0,360) to rotate 360 degrees over 240 frames.

Thanks for the info, that worked in a way that I was hoping but I also tried with a solution that was given to me on odforce: after I change the circle to an open arc NURBS Curve and it is chosen for the path of the object I then input $T*n “where ”n" is any value or whatever divisor is needed in the position value and that works.
