Hello, If I have a wedge PDG network saving out some geo caches, is there a TOP that allows me to set up a SOP network, create a file SOP for each file and load it back in? I know I can just use Python but is there a node-based way to do this?

If you do your work in TOP Geometry SOP, your cached geo can be loaded in automatically and passed to output without having to create file nodes

Oh didn't even see there was a TOP Geometry SOP lol, Thanks. Would still love to know if there is a way to get TOPS to create nodes in the way I previously described though?

I don't think there is, but if you don't mind python, you can define custom nodes completely in Python and then you can have your own node based solution that may do exactly what you want

You could try and see if : https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/model/verbs.html [www.sidefx.com]
works. I think it's limited, but if the operation is simple it might work, ymmv
