Hello!

I have been working on an environment and i am using instancefile attribute to instance objects from the disk which I previously exported as a bgeo from Houdini. Everything works fine except the instancefile does not inherit the groups i make while exporting the object.
The groups show up fine when i load the mesh through a file node and not during instancefile.

Any ideas to how i can fix this?

Thank you!

With instancefile the geometry is just a point attribute until render so you would need to unpack the geometry in order to access point or primitive groups, which defeats the purpose of instancing in the first place. So the question is about your specific purpose for accessing groups when instancing, the workflow may be different when working with packed geometry
