Hi,
I am unable to have my instanced geometry appear in the viewport at the object level. I can view it at the particle level. To solve this, I added an object merge node to the popnet and still couldn't have the instanced geometry be visible at the object level.

Thanks

Use a COPY SOP with your particles and you should see the geometry at the Object level.

You can instance geometry on to particles at render time (by using the point SOP to add an instance attribute and checking ‘point instancing’ at obj level) or using the copy sop. At render time is more effiicient for generally navigating around your scene but using the copy SOP gives you the obvious advantage of visual feedback before hitting render…
