Features: When the menu is created under HDA node, gives the option to assign parm to the HDA definition For non-HDA nodes, it will create spare parameters Jump to parm node menu option When references are created they are independent of a tool

NEW in v1.1: Watch this for all the new features https://youtu.be/YnxL1xpsNVI -Multiparm references supported -Quickly jump to the node that parm is referencing from(basic click will select node that parm in referencing, alt-click will zoom network editor to the node,ctrl-click will put a visibility flag on that node)

Multiparm workflow: For multiparm to work properly, the user needs to assign multiparm folder type and one multiparm node counter. For most common workflow: -create a new multiparm folder, as a spare or hda definition -assign this folder as a multiparm folder, from parm-utils menu -create foreach-number loop and right-click on foreach-count node and assign it as a counter node. !ATTENTION! -it is important for the counter node attribute 'ivalue' and multiparm folder type property 'first instance' to be the same.
