Hi all,

It could be a stupid question but I can't get my head around this.

I created an attribute called “foo”. It automatically varmaps it to “FOO”

I tried to access $FOO in one of the translate parameters in a COPY SOP. It doesn't let me saying there are no matching variables.

:?

Why can't I access this custom variable? I uploaded a file to better describe this.

Thanks in advance.

First, $FOO is variable of attribute1 ,not of copy sop.
Second, “foo” attribute is constant for each copy.

You can use $CY to vary each copy.

Click “Use Template Point Attributes” on the Attribute tab of the Copy SOP. This will load the foo attribute.

Click “Use Template Point Attributes” on the Attribute tab of the Copy SOP. This will load the foo attribute.

Thanks!

Read somewhere that the COPY SOP drops the varmaps (is this true?).

Just managed to access my custom attribute with prim().
