Really loving these tools, thanks so much for releasing them!
I'm curious - if I already have a value for something set, like a bevel size for example, and I want to expose it as a parameter, is it possible to somehow not have it set the parameter back to the default values? Right now if I set something like the bevel amount to 0.1 and then use your tool to make that into a parameter in my null node it resets the value to default of 0, but I want it to keep the 0.1 I had set.

that's a good point, im gonna update this tool in coming days. This is defiantly a good idea! I'm gonna replay to this this comment once its updated!

[@viktors_anfimovs]

@@viktors_anfimovs It works wonderfully!! That's such a nice upgrade, and I greatly appreciate you adding it so insanely fast.

@@thephobos1810 if you have some ideas for more tools make sure to write me!
I been testing out some Tops. automating something like a pdg specific attributes for parms and automatic wedge node setup is something I'm looking into it next!

Will it work with subnetwork and HDA?

[@viktors_anfimovs]

since it creates a relative path it should work fine wherever the node is. for hds its little different, since it involves writing to the hda file, what you can do is to create control node in hda and reference it in hda top parameter ui. Someone actually asked this so im just gonna paste the answer.
you can do is inside a HDA create something like a null node, and make spare parms in there. then on HDA type properties, create a folder, and change it to 'import block' type.
After that toggle on 'import settings ' on the lower right and for the 'Source' window point it to the spare parm node something like this - op:./spare_parm_node.
And after that click on the gear icon and press 'refresh imports'
It will create a link to the node and what's cool about it, you can go and add more spare parms to the node, and you can refresh by pressing 'refresh imports' again, and update all the parms.
