Beginners

Hi, I would like to access the SOP item that I have assigned in my base comp. Specifically, I am referring to the variable “tx.” Perhaps I am missing something, but I am unable to find a solution to access the variable. I would greatly appreciate any help!

Also see documentation for the Par Class:

To get the parameter’s current value, regardless of the Parameter Mode (constant, expression, export or bound), use the eval() method described below.
