I've created an HDA that contains two nodes: a camera and a geometry for visualizing the title safe region.

/obj/my_hda_camera/internal_camera
/obj/my_hda_camera/viz_title_safe_region


If I look through the internal_camera node, I can see the geometry for the “viz_title_safe_region”. However, if I change the HDA's Representative Node to be the “internal_camera” - then the “viz_title_safe_region” geometry is no longer visible when looking through the camera.

What gives? Is there a way to still see geometry when using a representative node type?

It sounds like you are trying to make a otl from the existing camera otl with changes and then combining with your data. From past experience this is fraught with problems. ie lights and the mantra ROP etc . Either use scripting to effect changes to the existing otl > ie driven by a shelf tool or create a scratch built otl for your camera.
