Export SOP geometry to clean, layered SVG—perfect for Illustrator, Figma, and browsers. Supports XY/XZ/YZ projections and true Camera views with pixel-accurate artboards and stroke widths.

Highlights

  • Projections: XY/XZ/YZ + Camera (persp/ortho), artboard = camera resolution.

  • Strokes: Global Stroke Width Mode → Pixels (match Camera) or Use @width (scene units).

  • Attributes → Styles: @Cd → color, @Alpha → opacity, @width → stroke, name → id, @layer/@layer_order + @svg_order.

  • Clean output: SVG 1.1, non-scaling strokes, optional viewBox fit, margin, clip, debug border.

Usage

  1. Drop SVG_Export after your SOP.

  2. Set Output SVG and choose Projection.

  3. Pick Stroke Width Mode and Export.

Tested on Houdini 20.5 (Py 3.11).
