Hi community! I was wondering if there is an out of the box way in Houdini to copy multiple parameters in between DAs or SOPs (I.e. I have a DA with modeling parameters and lighting parameters on it, and I want to copy only the lighting parameters across several instances of the DA)

So far I have tried these:

- right clicking on a parameter in the parameter window only copies/pastes a single parameter

- saving a parameter preset saves and applies all the parameters of the DA (modeling and lighting). I only want to save/apply the lighting parameters

- right clicking in the parameter spreadsheet (even with multiple parameters selected) only copies/pastes the single parameter I right click into

These only allow to transfer either all parameters or a single parameter, whereas I need to transfer a subset of parameters. Is there a way to do this?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

in a textport
cd to your HDA
run this:

opscript -b .

then strip out the stuff you don't want

I would use HOM to query all the parms (hou.node('.').parms()) and filter what you need. Basically same as arctor recommended.

Thank you! It looks that I can even get an array of all of the parameters in a folder (which is where all my lighting settings are ).

Thank you again!
