This has been bugging me for some time now, but is there a way to prevent objects that are transformed, or constrained or parented to other objects to disappear from view because Houdini completely ignores any Transforms ?

I was hoping this wouldn't happen with constraints, just like with a transform SOP, but same difference.

Strangely enough when a Geo Node is transformed it doesn't seem to happen all the time, sometimes it stays in view, and sometimes not.

And even worse, when selecting some constrained or transformed geo with other objects hidden, it focusses on the geo where it was when not transformed, now where is the logic in that ?

But does anyone know of a way to prevent this from happening ?

Thanks

Bump, this is extremely annoying.

Maybe a strange concept, but sometimes one actually needs multiple views but not have all background objects visible. By default it seems Houdini only allows a single viewport when working on transformed objects.

Or does anyone know how to prevent transformed objects from disappearing when "Hiding Other Objects" ?

Edit : Maybe my wording is a bit confusing, of course the active object does not actually "disappear", but all its transforms are back to default so it moves to the center as one can see in the attached screen capture. So it disappears from all views, except for the single "active view" when you zoomed in on it.

Anyone know how to prevent that from happening ?
