just Ctrl+Click your template flag to get what's called Selectable Template, which is shaded solid if your viewport is

You actually have full control over this in the display options (hit ‘d’ in viewport). Tweak the settings in “Set display options for”, “Use” and “Draw”.
That's great DaJuice! Thank you, this is very useful, sometimes it's easier for me to visualize when I can see everything without having to constantly click on a merge sop.

Is it possible to have a node with he the template flag selected display as a solid instead of a wireframe?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Sepu to the rescue again! Thanks!
I found that _globals page as well online but there's nothing in there about $CR so thanks for the explanation and the advice. I can see that they're really pushing these VEX expressions now but it wasn't clear to me until now what they were. Noticed them when I laid down a point SOP. I guess I can excuse myself from learning local variables if VEX is better.
Thanks!

One of the frustrating things about learning Houdini is the amount of expressions used to get things done. This is par for the course I know but today I was trying to figure out what exactly a $CR variable is, I'm happy to RTFM but I spent an hour just trying to find it in the manual. I do a search $CR, no dice. I know it's some sort of color variable so I search for that. nothing comes up. I find global VOP variables.. nothing there.
How would one find any info on this stuff? the manual is ridiculously hard to use in my opinion.

with your node selected press X and you will have a visualizer node which by default outputs P then just change to type “marker” then you will see P
Brilliant! That's nice an easy, thank you!

just use P as a visualizer. That will give you Point position of your points
sepu, I'm not sure I'm following.. is P in the visualizer settings here?

Thanks for the response, it was the only way that I could figure out how to get some form vector marker.. is there a way to have marker show me the position of these points?

Hi, I made a marker to try and visualize the point vectors of my Point VOP. Although the points are moving, the vectors always read 0 0 0. Not sure why this is. Thanks for any help on this!

A-OCYes! Thank for this! Something I can study! BTW Where is the force pushing your particles up?
Like this ?
EDIT: never mind, I can see that in the “source_first_input” inside the pop network, you set the “set initial velocity” Dropdown. Very cool, I didn't know that you could do this too.
Learning stuff.. this is fun

I would like to have random sizes on the spheres emitting from the pop network. It was working with the stamp until the particles died, obviously that can't work because the point number changes.
Thanks you for helping me on this.

Thank you! Added the Attribute Randomize SOP after the dop network but Im not sure what do from here..

The popnet if you middle click give you an an attribute id by default, so you can use the syntax @id.
Also @ID is a vex code right? I haven't got onboard with VEX yet. not sure how my expression should be.

Hi, so I have copy sop on a pop network referencing the sphere. So I put a stamp “Resize” rand($PT)/4 on the uniform scale of the transform node to give variable sizes of the particle sphere.
This works up until the particles die, then there's a random resize popping thing that happens. I know why this is happening, the PT numbers are changing. So is there a way to reference by ID or is there a better way to do this?

COPY SOP! Shoot, of course. Is there any good reason to use the pop instance? Thanks for the reply!

Hi, I have a Pop instance piped into pop network. I just mapped a sphere onto to it and I can see it's working in the pop network. But I can't see the sphere is in upper directories.. why is that? Thanks!

Marc, thank you, all that helps immensely! I kept attaching the point node to some geometry and while playing with the settings nothing seemed to be happening. Then I realized that their were keyframes already attached to this node with some VEX code?
Makes it bit difficult to understand but I can see that the point node allows us to override point properties, is that how to look at it?

I'm having a hard time understanding what the point node does. I've read the docs, I've seen a couple of examples. I study them, I read.. but I haven't a clue what the heck it's actually doing and what I can do with this node.
Can anyone give me a dummy run down on this thing?
Thanks.
