Hi all,

when I dive into a dopnet that's inside a geo node everything in the viewport disappears, (yes, show all objects is set) but a dopnet at the object level behaves as expected. I'm confused to say the least. Tried a new vieport, no dice, tried v18 instead 17.5, no dice. Can't find any preferences for it…. stumped.

Hey Andi,

that is the normal Houdini Behaviour. I wish it would be different, too. It is the same for all subnets on SOP level. You can lock the view at the desired level and dive then into DOP level.

Thanks CYTE,

glad to know i'm not going mad. Simple enough to workaround…

You can also you a Sop Guide Dop to visualize geometry in your dop network. It is used only as a visualizer and doesn't get computed with the rest of the network.

Is this really how it's supposed to work?

The thing is it's very inconsistent. Some objects are shown in DOP (like RBD object) while others are not. Is this really by design or a bug people just live with?
