Updated Houdini Apprentice to 12.5 and now only two shelf tabs are showing. And I can't find RBD anymore.

I have same problem when I installed Houdini 12.5 and
when i run Houdini directly (Not Start Menu ) ,my problem solved !

I think in my case ,Houdini shortcut in the Start Menu or desktop run Houdini whitout any Access and license to Houdini Dynamic's shelf !

Manually run the Houdini from installation directory and check your shelf again!

CProgram Files/Side Effects Software/Houdini 12.5.469/bin/houdinifx.exe


:?

If you're using the Start menu, make sure you pick "Houdini FX“, not ”Houdini"

Thanks alot, that helped!

I ran into a similar, but weirder issue…

I've been running 12.5.469 apprentice on the mac and the entire Volume Fluids shelf is missing. It looks like some of the buttons have been shifted to other shelves, but other buttons like Burn, Smoke, Liquid, and Fuel from Object are simply missing.

Has this functionality been rolled into something else? The 12.5 manual refers to them like they're still there. There's no indication they've been moved.

I've also installed the latest build (12.5.533) but got the same issue.

Thanks for any advice.

just righ mouse click on any shelf and edit the it. You can add any of those tools back

That did it. Thanks!

I view it should be done it.
