I was speaking about this with Andy a few weeks back as I’m the same. I ideally 
like to build single function VOP and Wrangle nodes. Andy’s view was that in 
general terms this is a best practise as you not only find it easier to debug a 
network but you also get to build a library of discreet reusable nodes that are 
bespoke to the way you like to work.

Hi Jason,

 

maybe it’s a workflow thingy. I like to break functionality down into separate 
nodes and not try to do everything inside one gigantic Attribute VOP. And I 
find that lots of these are shared as HDAs, less so for VOP subnets.

 

I mostly build and organize at the SOP level.

 

But you’re right there should be more VOP HDAs for common repeating 
functionality.

 

Happy weekend

Andy

So now we have 'compounds' with custom port names, now how/why are we not 
seeing dozens of those everywhere?
