Hello guys,

this is my first post here; since I started ‘working’ with Houdini just recently and try to get accustomed to it, I hope you don't resent my rather simple questionI've currently installed Houdini Apprentice version 16.0.504.20

When I import an Alembic File and select one of its objects, I can't select the object's primitives, although I'm able to select the points or edges (Load as ‘Unpack Alembic Delayed Load Primitives’). The whole object just turns blue when I try to make a primitive selection. I obviously missed something important, right?
I've already ‘combed’ Houdini's documentation and the forum's posts, but couldn't really find an answer. Do you maybe have a clue?

Thank you very much & best regards

The unpacked geometry is likely a single polygon soup primitive. Consider appending a Convert SOP to convert it to polygons.

Thank you very much, Derrick! The Convert SOP did the trick

Thanks. Convert node helped a lot. Unpack still shows primitives in "1".
