I notice that unlike 18.5 in 19.0 there's an active tab on top of the network view, but I'm wondering if there's a way to have top nets report their progress visually to their parent HDA. Scene with test hda attached.

Hi!

In the next H18 daily build, any node with the parameter "targettopnetwork" will use that parameter and display the progress and counts for the network referenced by it.

In addition to that, the "Node Properties" tab in the parameter interface editor will have a new group of parameters. This group has a operator path (for the "targettopnetwork" parm) and cook control buttons.

You'll be able to simply add this group of parameters, set the target top network node and you'll have cook controls and progress information.

This definitely works. I just had to set a callback script on each topnet promoted to HDA parm, "Cook Output Node", to set a different topnet target in the "targettopnetwork" parm.
node=kwargs["node"].parm("targettopnetwork").set("topnet2")
Also I had to make sure that the output node actually generates work items if I want to see it displayed in the asset. Instead of using an OutputTOP I just used a AttributeCreateTOP.



Thanks for the help
