I've been trying to import data from .osm (open source maps) and found a couple of converters that DON'T work, but one way round this is to export .xml data, does anyone know anything about getting .osm to .xml, converting .xml to something houdini can understand? Thanks.

Any progress on this?

cheers

Technically xml and osm are the same, both should work.

You don't need to convert anything, just create file parameter and load osm/xml file, after parse it with Python's xml.dom.minidom
