Point instancer using 1st points inputs issue July 8, 2026, 7:27 p.m.
Yes that was the missing part, not use name attribute on the SOP import to organize the geometry, thanks!
Point instancer using 1st points inputs issue July 7, 2026, 3:30 p.m.
What I am trying to figure it out it is a little more complex.
I did try to simplify in my file to illustrate what I am trying to find out:
-I have a RBD sim on SOP level just saving the points for the instance geometry.
-Using the name attribute with a copy to points I am instancing this geometry which is working.
-I am trying to replicate this with the 2 options on Solaris:
What works:
-Using the "internal SOP" option on the target points on the point Instancer LOP and using the name attribute to fetch the pieces with my points from SOP works.
What did not and I am trying to find out why:
-The same thing but trying to use the "1st input points" using the left branch.
I hope that makes sense.

I will take a look, thanks!
Summarizing I just want to be able to use the 1st input with points saved as usd the same way I can use the internal SOP because they don't read the attributes the same way.
