I was trying to convert my HE project to use the HE 2.0 but I did not find HAPI_CPP.h which was available with HE 1.9.

Has this been totally removed or will the classes be updated for HE 2.0?

This was removed. It was only an example of how to use HAPI but it wasn't maintained.

It is difficult for us to provide a generic C++ wrapper around HAPI and maintain it ourselves because often times the user needs to convert basic data types to their own specific C++ classes. For example, if we always convert our strings to std::string then hosts using a custom String class would need to rewrite those wrappers anyway.

In any case, HAPI_CPP.h coverted a very small part of the API. You could somewhat easily take the HAPI_CPP.h from Houdini 14 and updated to work with HAPI 2.0 within your project.

Thanks for the reply damian.

I have updated HAPI_CPP.h for my purposes for testing but I am having another issue creating the session. See my other post regarding that issue.

Thanks,
