Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on a muscle simulation setup in Houdini 20.5.487, and I've encountered a strange issue related to the Muscle Properties SOP node.

As soon as I move my mouse into the 3D viewport while the Muscle Properties node is active in the network, I get the following Python error in the console:
Image Not Found



This only happens when the mouse is over the viewport — if the cursor is over the network editor or parameter pane, the error does not occur. Everything else seems to work fine, but this error pops up repeatedly whenever interacting with the viewport.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is this a known bug or is there a workaround I can try?

Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

参数窗口不能用快捷键“P”画中画的形式出现。需要独立窗口,而且要把 following selection 激活。

Unfortunately the Viewer State cannot currently find the parameter dialog when it is an overlay in the Network View like you get by pressing "P". Instead, you need to have the parameters in a separate pane or window as gordon_lei mentioned above. I personally like the "Technical Wide" desktop as it lays out the parameter pane to the right of the network view, instead of above it. Although hot tip, if you Alt+LMB on the middle of the divider between two panes it flips their orientation, which I often do when using the "Build" desktop.

As for the bug itself, I could add error handling for it, but the Viewer State won't interact correctly with the multiparm tabs, so I will ask the relevant developer to add the multiParmTabs function to the NetworkEditor class.

That's a very weird restriction... I like the embedded P view. It has been very convenient for me. I never use a separate parameter pane.

I really don't think the solution should be "error handling." The solution should be making embedded P view work in this case.
