Sorry if im asking this the wrong way but im still learning and my understanding of takes is very limited as im still going through the interface and some other basic stuff… But would it be possible to do this way?
To modify the mantra surface shader, inside make some sort of Boolean switch node in between the output and the surface where it has just your standard shading network in one port and the holdout/rayswitched network in the other, then use takes in conjunction with say a bundle to overide that switch on all shaders in the bundle?
Cheers.

One more thing that has me interested. Can i use some sort of overide to inject a shader tree into the output connection of a number of selected shop networks where the displacement and displacement properties are left untouched but the surface output is replaced with a tree where the primary ray is a holdout but all secondary rays are still calculated?

Hi guys , just a quick question, is there such a thing as a rayswitch node in the shop network?

I hope i am not being intrusive but i would like to make one small request if you could find the time i would be eternally grateful. One of the strongest features when dealing with si for lighting was the pass/partition/override workflow for layers and similar, would it be possible to include this in the lighting section.
Thanks in advance.
Ogi.
EDIT:
Sorry i skipped the rendering tab on your flowchart. I see its all there, i apologize and seriously thank you for taking your time to ease out transition. I think you will have a lot of beers coming your way soon

Id just like to drop in to and say hello and thank you to the guys from side effects. An amazing gesture. I will defiantly be looking into learning Houdini and transferring my lighting skills to this package.
Cheers,
Ogi.
