Hi!

I made a simple example of a box where I choose the prims in the group node and the wrangle below colors them to green. The problem is when I click on the arrow button to change my selection, I stop seeing the green polygons. I'd like to see the green polygons while choosing so I know what to pick.

This is a simple example but the real thing would have multiple groups with multiple colors. It's important for me to see the colors while I select prims.

The attached HIP file used fake recursion to do what you want but it is not a legal way of doing these sort of things in Houdini.

That's some dark magic! I'll see if I can get this working in my real setup. Thanks!
