And that work ! Thank you !
But do you know if you can do same thing without need to keep object selected.
I would like to use some “textured only” objects at same time (as reference for 3d construction) and work on other objects on any display mode.
As an example (and I hope do not offend you) here is a screenshot of how it can be done in softimage, with common display option on a bunch of objects.
Thanks.

Just a bump to my question with a screenshot to illustrate.
Do you know how to keep my (here selected) grid object textured (left) when I switch to wireframe mode (right) ?
Thanks.

Hi,
I'm not sure if I entirely understood your question because that's seem trivial :
-1- create a tube object
-2- on geometry node enable “Ends Caps”
-3- select top face and add an SOP “Poly Extrude” : tweak “Inset” param
-4- add another SOP “Poly Extrude” : tweak “Distance” param

match transform
Starting with H15 there's a feature for matching any of the transforms (see small button beside each value box). What's missing is a “match all” button or function (like hold shift and click any of those buttons).
Yes ! That's good to know !

Same thing with the last 15.0.279 version.
It's really just after a translation with the middle clic increment.
If, just after my middle clic translation, I move manually my object, this problem disappear, and handle detachment can be snapped correcly on itself.
I will submit a bug.
Thanks for your time.

And that's exactly that's I want to say !
When I say small improvements around modeling interaction it is about the development effort that can make all modeling much more user friendly.
In other words, I really agree with you that interaction (selecting, transforming, etc) must be “perfect” to be really productive (that's huge repeating tasks in a day work !).
In the same way, I don't think that's so hard for the dev to reach this level, example :
- add judicious transient hotkeys for snap/“transform handle” (aka “pivot” in xsi)
- make transform tool more flexible : match transform - pick polygon/edge reference, etc.

Hello !
Thanks you for your explanation, I also really hope they will solved this in a near future.
I think that really small improvements around modeling interaction can radicaly change modeling feeling and productivity (I give me some days before discuss about more in depth).

Finally I understand how to reproduce this bug.
It happens after a move with a middle click increment
step by step :
- select one object (here the plane)
- move it with a middle click increment
- and now, move handle detachment (same thing with pivot) with a point snap and you can see it can only snap to the other object but not on itself.
Can you confirm this ?
Thanks.

I'm really confuse, I try it again today and it work well.
I'm sure I'm not crazy, yesterday it doesn't work, probably a driver bug that need a relaunch of the program/computer.
Anyway, thank you for your time MartybNz.

Hello,
I have a grid and I want to snap the pivot's transform tool to one of its points, but I can only snap it on points of others objects (cf. screenshot).
Is there normal ? Is there a workaround ?
Thanks.

As a fresh new indie user I try to see if Houdini is sufficiently user friendly for “direct” modeling.
McNistor, I also really interressed if there is a way of referring to another objects coordinate sys. for viewport transform purposes.

Hello, I have a really newbie question..
How can I do to force display some objects with their textures and leave others with the current display mode (in wireframe for example) ?
Thanks.

Well, I'm supposed to scale all my scene by 100 to solve issues with a small emitter and container but can you point me all parameters to change to adapt simulation and stay physically correct :
- Gravity force needs to be scale by 100 and what else ?
Thanks.

Hello,
I have a small sphere emitter, diameter of 3cm (try to stay unit correct), to fill my barrel.
But, depending on how to size my sphere, my particles doesn't fit my emitter volume or fit but doesn't fall :? (cf. screenshot).
Can you explain me how I can get it work, and why particles doesn't fall ?
Thank you.
Julien.
