yeah but…did you create anything ? there's a dozen assets loaded ready for use…but there's no way known ‘it’ will know what you want to create…So you're in control…pick one and hit Create Object.

But Create object is grayed out (Disable) ? Because there is no hda loaded in the list, i attached a picture to explaine better

do you have anything in here? or is it empty ?

C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini 18.x.xxx\engine\tools

then also check in Options, there are a couple of paths…check them too.

ok then all that should appear as loaded assets, then you just pick one and hit create. Why they don't appear as loaded, I don't know, a tech support should jump in here I think.

Or try pointing the asset path to the directory that contain the above files…pray that it works.

Hi there,

If you check the session tab, do you have an active session?

There is documentation about sessions at: https://www.sidefx.com/docs/3dsmax/_session.html [www.sidefx.com]

But I will add this to the “Getting Started” page (https://www.sidefx.com/docs/3dsmax/_getting_started.html) and also make it more clear in the plugin's user interface when there is not an active session.
