Thanks for that Rob. That seems to work.
Now my next Hypothetical step..
-Say I want to import an OBJ geometry from Maya.
-how would I go about getting it in (I'm think I should be using “merge”).
-Then I want to use the “copy to points” Sop and distribute a cube over every point.
My company has now got a few copies of Houdini as we are mainly a XSI and Maya house and I am very impressed with the power of the non-destructive workflow.
Many thanks again
Mark

Hi, I just started to learn Houdini9 after using Maya and I am hoping someone can tell me what I am doing wrong….
-create box
-create grid
-using the “copy” command icon from the modify tab I can then have a box on every point of the grid.
All fine and dandy.
Now. If I create a box and grid as before and try not to use the new Houdini9 icon and instead use the network editor to create a copy node I cannot then connect the grid as I am in object mode not scene node. If I go into scene mode I lose the copy node.
I assume this is something simple I am doing wrong but not sure what…
Any help would be grateful.
Thanks
