Hi all,
Lets say I have an expression in the value 1 field of the stamp tab in a copySOP. How can I see what values the expression is returning for all of the points/particles?
thanks alot
Craig

thanks so much.
Actually id just solved the problem by using an attributeCreateSOP inside my popnet and it shows up inside the spreadsheet but i think better to put it where you said as things inside my popnet may change.
I am a new houdini user( maya bg) but i was thinking I should be able to use this attribute as a variable so I could just use $MY_ATTR as a value in my stamp value field. But so far no joy … Its not important but its bugging me.
thaks again

you have to fill the Local Variable parameter in AttribCreate SOP as well to be able to use the attribute as a variable later
ps: the Aliases and Variables menu is for global expressions which return only single value not for per point attributes as far as i know

thanks to both of you for replying.
probbins .. Not tried that yet , will give it look but id rather not be creating global variables, but still handy to know.
tamte .. I had already filled in the local variable slot and that was part of the problem ! I thought all local variables needed to be uppercase but apparently they are not. If I leave the local variable part blank then the name field is the the local variable but in upper case . If i fill in my local variable then it uses that case.Well it works now so I assume thats how it works. Thanks for making me look at it again and if I have got it wrong please let me know!
