volumetypeid

int  volumetypeid(<geometry>geometry, int primnum)

int  volumetypeid(<geometry>geometry, string volumename)

<geometry>

When running in the context of a node (such as a wrangle SOP), this argument can be an integer representing the input number (starting at 0) to read the geometry from.

Alternatively, the argument can be a string specifying a geometry file (for example, a .bgeo) to read from. When running inside Houdini, this can be an op:/path/to/sop reference.

Returns

The integer typeid for the data stored in the volume or VDB. This will match the result of the VEX typeid() function with the same type.

Returns -1 if it isn’t a volume or VDB, or isn’t a VEX compatible type.
