H20.5 still unusable. Only way around is to generate a curvature attribute with measure SOP, fix the artifacts with attribute blur and get it explicitly as a mtlxgeopropertyvalue in Solaris/karma

Hi houdini gurus! I'm learning to swim in the sea of nodes while in production...

I made a RBD sim from material fracture and trying to export it as abc containing a single maya shape object (with normal uvsets cpv velovity etc..), not 7k fragments that choke the maya outliner.

I get the resulted fragments from materialfracture> dopnet >dopimport, all good then i hit my knowledge wall to export it with rop_alembic

I tried using an Attribute Wrangle s@path = "frac"; and set path to path in rop_alembic "built hierarchy from path" on.
no luck i have an error in rop_alembic :

Warning
Renaming node to /frac_1 to resolve collision.
Warning
Renaming node to /frac_2 to resolve collision.
Warning
Renaming node to /frac_3 to resolve collision.
Warning
Renaming node to /frac_4 to resolve collision.
Warning
Renaming node to /frac_5 to resolve collision.
Warning etc,,,

it must be super simple as no one is talking about it. Any leads would be greatly appreciated!
