How do I turn on “Use LOD Groups” with the Indie version of Houdini-Engine for Unity?

Since there's no GUI I can't access the ASSET OPTIONS that are references in the documentation

You should have a GUI that looks like this in Indie. I use Indie at home and I get a GUI, unless your referring to something else? LOD Groups were added to Houdini Engine after 16.5.477. I hope this helps!

Note that by default UseLODGroups is true so you don't need to do anything to turn it on.
Now if you want to manipulate it, without a GUI, you can still access the LOD group setting via the UseLODGroup property on the HEU_HoudiniAsset class.

asset.UseLODGroups = true;
asset.RequestCook(false, false, true, true);

Take a look at HoudiniEngineUnity/Scripts/Examples/HEU_ScriptParameterExample.cs to see how to get the HEU_HoudiniAsset from the root asset's gameobject, set parameters, and request a cook.

I'm on linux, might this be the problem? Just updated to the latest Unity build, and still I can't see the interface @aig_vr posted. I've attached a print of what I see.

Yes that would be the problem. The new plugin (and UI) hasn't been released for the Linux builds yet. Should be coming shortly.
