how to change my projects rute to $HIP? Nov. 28, 2025, 9:13 a.m.

$HIP is the variable for the folder where your scene file is located.
So if your scene file is here:

C:/MyProject/MysceneFile.hip

Your cache needs to be here:

C:/MyProject/geo/cache.bgeo.sc

Now you can use:

$HIP/geo/cache.bgeo.sc

And now the cache can be found on another system, too.
As long as the scene file and cache keep this relation.

Can I use Polydraw/Edit back to back? Nov. 28, 2025, 1:53 a.m.

Hm, I don't quite understand.
Topobuild has various modes, including draw, move, and smooth.
Shouldn`t this be enough to do most of the work?
What function do you use in edit that you can`t do in Topobuild?

Hey toonafish,

If you removed the older versions of the asset, this is the expected behaviour.
But you can activate the asset definition toolbar and select the new asset definition afterwards.
After a save, the error should be fixed.
