thanks for the replies. much appreciated
What I really want to know is not so much how to do the maths to calculate a
PRF , as I have that working.
In ICE, when you ‘get pointreferenceframe’ it automatically calculates it on
the location and feeds you the result but its just a GET .. Is there a way of
triggering a similar behaviour, rather than literally connecting maths nodes to
calculate it yourself. for example would it have to be done in VEX? so you have
one node which does the work and feeds you a PRF?

Not exactly the Point Reference frame, but I used this method to get "solid"
rotation on a projetc. Not sure it's simple enough, as you have to feed the
orient attribute with something to start using it localy.

Hahahaha! That's amazing :) When I got an email from SideFX changing the
status of the RFE to "Fixed", I just assumed that they had agreed that it was a
valid request that they'd look into, not that they'd actually gone and bloody
done it. Well done SideFX!
In case he's still reading this thread, thanks to Mark Tucker at SideFX who
dealt with this so promptly.

Good morning,
this is the awesome support at SideFX

Houdini 16.0.561
Added a hotkey to temporary toggle the state of the "Allow Dropping
Nodes on Wires" preference while in the middle of dragging a node.

No problem Jonathan.
A quick update to this following discussions with SideFX:
1) I don't recall if this was mentioned in the thread earlier, but they
mentioned that you can enable/disable the auto-connect on wires using CTRL+8 or
in the Network View menu under Tools-> Allow Dropping Nodes on Wires. This
doesn't work during a drag operation though, so I've gone back and explained
the desired workflow of having a modifier key to toggle the behaviour during
the dragging of nodes. I just thought I'd post this in here now case it's
useful to anyone in the mean time.
2) They pointed out that I was incorrect when I said earlier in this
thread there wasn't an equivalent view of Softimage's Explorer view where you
can see clean hierarchies of objects. You can do it in the Tree View. You just
need to enable the Object Filter (the first button in the Tree View's tool
bar). You can also right click on the Tree View toolbar, and there are various
other options in there which can be helpful for sorting and grouping the
objects in a tree structure. Definitely worth playing with anyway. Sorry for
the misinformation before!
Cheers,

I also like Pauls idea of a modifier key to disable the auto
connection on demand. Definitely seems a worthwhile enhancement request.
FYI, I’ve submitted an RFE to Side Effects and sent them the link to
this thread.
