Hi there,
I am trying to use a python expression in the textfield of the Font SOP.
To be more specific I am trying to use this:
hex(1)
The problem is, that the Font SOP now writes the expression as text and not the result of the expression.
How can I calculate the result of the expression in the text field?
Thanks for your help.

All you need to do is first LMB on the label to toggle the expression. The label should then have a different color and you should be able to type in your hex(1) command now.
