Is there a way to put display flag on subnet input? July 10, 2026, 9:25 p.m.

Sry Gaalvk, but if you don't understand what the discussion is about, why do you participate?
It's about the INPUT nodes of a subnet. They are not flaggable atm. It would be great if they were.

But you're only in a subnet temporarily, the result of the subnet matters. It is a little annoying on occasion, but a null is
an easy temp or permanent solution while you are building it out.
Is there any way to lock the UI in Houdini? June 5, 2026, 5:06 a.m.
I have an RFE in for exactly this. "Lockable UI" the same as you have in 3ds Max. Toggle it on, and none of the UI
can be accidentally closed, saving you from having to reload the desktop.

The collision is going to do pretty much exactly what you've shown. Your SDF collider is not smooth, it
has ridges.
Put down a VDB smooth SDF, this will smooth it out.
