Hello,

I know how to convert a button strip bitfield to an array but I have no clue how to do the opposite.

So for example I have a button strip with 3 menu items (x, y, z), I have a list of (1, 0, 1). How can I convert that array to a bitfield to set the parm python expression so that the first and last menu item is checked by returning an integer?

Ah yes. Been in that rabbit hole.
What you have to do is create collection for each shape in instance proxies, and assign materials via collections.
I have some duct tape python script for that. But didn't finish it, had to switch over to another project.

I ended up getting it to work with Python through the use of

ls = hou.LopSelectionRule()
ls.setTraversalDemands(hou.lopTraversalDemands.AllowInstanceProxies)

but it all felt quite inefficient route to go. Would be nice if they made it more straightforward.

Hello,

Anyone know a way to adjust the pre-scale that an agent from USD is imported at similar to FBX's "Convert Units"? Scaling it down with a transform node by 0.01 or pscale isn't a solution as retargeting clips through kinefx breaks due to the scale difference.
