The name concept is documented here: https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/nodes/sop/name.html [www.sidefx.com]

It doesn't seem like it's mentioned within the Maya plugin documentation. I'll add it.

The name attribute is created for you when you provide multiple pieces of geometry from Maya into the input.

Here is one way you can achieve that. A name attribute is added, so we can use the “For Each Named Primitive” node to loop through each object. In the attached file, I have also created a meta import node so that I can extract the loop index and use that to drive the color and intensity of the mountain height parm.
