Going a bit crazy here.

The skeleton node doesn't work in the "tweak mode" correctly with point snapping. I'm sure I tried all possible settings in point snapping and in the skeleton node. What ever I do, it just snaps in screen space with kind of a "random" depth. So it's not only in screen space. But it never snaps to the actual point in 3d space.

Also tried to disable depth snapping and snap first in the RIGHT and then the FRONT viewport. But it still offsets the skeleton points somehow.

This is bloody frustrating. Guessi it's easier to just use some lines as input for the skeleton node than use the node itself for creating a rig.

Did anybody encounter a similar behaviour?

P.S.: Can it be just the transpose tool, which malfunctions? I believe I did have similar problems like that before when an initial placement snapped correctly, but the modifications didn't anymore.

yup, can confirm it's not working correctly in H 19.0440
Maybe you should file an RFE.

Yes, need to snap some joints to geo and it seems snapping skeletons is still completely broken in 20.5.487 when creating or editing a skeleton.

Just create some Nulls, place them randomly at different spots, and then try to snap to them when creating a skeleton, nada snapping.
And when trying to snap to the points of some actual geo it's adding some random depth to the snapping position, same when trying to snap in Tweak Mode.

Also hotkeys randomly stop working, like the Undo or Enter to stop drawing bones. Sometimes to undo anything all I can do is
use Edit>Undo dropdown menu.

Or am I doing something wrong ?

Created a screencap of the issue : https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/j1ft7ohxl6ghtv34i0132/skeleton_snapping_bug.mp4?rlkey=8ejt78ggx6lou5ftf3qwi2hw1&dl=0 [www.dropbox.com]

You are right the snapping is still broken for the draw skeleton state.
What works for me is to create the skeleton first.
Then switch to modify and toggle show Transform Handle on.
Now snapping works (mostly) as expected.

Hey thanks for the pointer, very annoying it’s still not fixed, like so many bugs in Houdini.

Seems like SideFX is aiming for the stars, while we’re wading through the mud.

Still broken 21.0.559
