Oh, you have the colons in your node names. There was a recent version of Houdini that made them properly forbidden, since they tend to break everything that references a node by path.

Edit:

This fixed it!

Thank you and thanks for everyone for helping.

So I just tested it out with an alembic that is native to houdini and it works! So it is a Maya setting… any idea as to what it would be?

Thanks for your help.

So I've been doing the exact same thing with my alembic as you did in your video. ( This is imported from maya, so could that be causing issues? ) But I've attached images and my steps were as follows:

AlembicError1.png: imported alembic into fresh scene.

AlembicError2.png: found the specific piece I wanted to edit (in this case it's the only thing in the alembic).

AlembicError3.png: Inside the geo node is the alembic file node.

AlembicError4.png: I added an unpack node.

AlembicError5.png: I added a convert node. ( I checked polygon on the information and it's saying that I should have all of the polygons for this geo 1,000+).

AlembicError6.png: I select the polygons I want to delete.

AlembicError7.png: When I press “Delete” on my keyboard I get the error.
