Hi all,

I'm trying to set the “rule” parameter in the Partition SOP to `@shop_materialpath` using Python but it does not seem to recognize the back ticks.

Any help?

Thanks.

# python partition node

obj = hou.node(“/obj”)

geo = obj.createNode('geo')
partition = geo.createNode('partition')

path = “`@shop_materialpath`”

partition.parm('rule').set(path)

it should work. I tried your code and the quotation marks were invalid. Try this one (made them all the same for consistency):

Hey Thanks a lot Mariusz.

It seems to work as a shelf tool but it does not work with a Python SOP , HDA nor a NULL with a custom Python script.
Please give it a try if you can?

Thanks for picking up the inconsistency with the " and '.

Appreciate you looking into it.
