Houdini - Import Block: Import all parameters from one node to another

 In Houdini, let's say you want to import all parameters from one node, to another (perhaps you have a long list of parameters that you'd like to control from a parent subnet above?)

Instead of tediously drag-dropping your parameters over via two instances of a 'type properties' or 'parameter interface' window, you can instead utilise something called an 'import block'.

1.) Create an empty folder parameter on the node you want to import parameters to.

2.) Set the folder variable type to 'import block'

3.) Check 'import settings'

4.) Import Settings > source = op:/obj/whatever/sourcenode_insubnet

5.) Right click the import block folder on the source node, and click 'Refresh imports'.

 

Congratulations, you have now successfully created/copied all parameters from one node, on another.
