searching for a little bit of 3ds max functionality in Houdni


#1

hello, was wondering, and it’s hard to find such info, if i could reset the values to zero easily in the value fields? i’ve typed “houdini shortcut set to zero” in google but it was futile.

in max, you have “spinner” buttons in each field where numeric value is being input. i am able to RMB those spinners setting the given field to zero instantly, can’t find anything like it in houdini. you know, to easily and quickly reset the fields with values without the need of selecting the contents.

although i understand one can’t write scripts in max’s fields so it’s not as fancy, it would be swell to have that functionality in houdini though. i am also wondering if you can input a value in more than 1 field at once (like in maya by the ability to select more fields holding Shift :))?

(i know i can Shift+RMB to get back to the previous value, so almost almolst…)

all help much apreciated

use ctrl+MMB on the name field of the values you want to set to default.

use ctrl+MMB on the name field of the values you want to set to default.

If you want the entire set of parameters set to default then left click the gear icon ( next to the name field ) and choose " revert to factory defaults "
