  2. Right click on the newly placed torus_object1 node in the network pane and select Create Digital Asset....
  3. Give it a nice Operator Name like torus_asset and set the Save to Library to an appropriate folder with a nice name like torus_asset.hda. Hit Accept.
  4. If you encounter a dialog with the options: No Changes, Revert Layout, and Destroy All Spare Parameters, select Destroy All Spare Parameters.
  5. When the Edit Operator Type Properties window appears, select Accept.
  6. Note parameters on the torus_object1 node in the Parameters pane like Translate, Rotate, and Scale.

In Unity
