Hi, I removed a shelf set using this option:


Then after removing every shelf, I found that the blank space left won't allow me to add my shelves again.


Is there a way to restore the shelves maybe through a right click option?

I did find this hscript from the forums [sidefx.com]:
shelfdock -o 0

But it only opens/or closes the dock.
So after searching the help for other options for the shelfdock
I found this from the samples:
shelfdock -d Build add shelf_1 shelf_2
It works, and restores the shelves.


I was just wondering, if there is some kind of a shelf editor somewhere?

From the top menu :

Window > desktop > Reload current desktop

Hi Rob,

Thanks, I did try that option before.. sadly no luck.

I was experimenting with Desktops and created a layout with only the Scene view and Network view displayed Thus my custom desktop doesn't have any shelves.

So Reloading the current desktop only restores it to my custom desktop - without the shelves.

Hi, you should be able to reload your shelves from the menu. You hide them using that thin bar with the arrow to your screen left. I would re start Houdini. I cannot say I have ever run into your problem as I never see a need to fiddle with the shelves except that is to make my own shelf for my own tools.

I would re start Houdini

You got it!
I did a simple restart and I now see a right-click menu for adding my shelves back:


Thanks a bunch Rob

Regards,
Jeff


P.S. I suppose it's a minor bug?

They do appear, I some times get a fail when I try to create / execute shelf tools. But then I must admit Im a old school kind of guy and like the tab menu for pretty much everything.
