The Rizom Bridge (right mouse button, versus HDA) is a destructive workflow to exchange data with RizomUV.
You have to define the path to the rizom executable in the odtools package .json (ODHoudiniShelfTools.json in your package folder) file.
By default, it is set to a windows path for Rizom 2022. Please change this should your path differ from the default.
{"rizomuvpath":"C:/Program Files/Rizom Lab/RizomUV 2022.0/rizomuv.exe"}
Send to Rizom will take the currently selected Object and bring it into an automatically launched Rizom UV instance. Existing UV's from Houdini will be brought into Rizom as a start.
Send To Rizom (Clear UV's) does the same as above, but clears the existing UV's before bringing them into Rizom.
Get From Rizom brings the UV's from Rizom back into Houdini.
<aside> ⚠️ Once the UV work is completed in Rizom, please just hit ctrl-s to save the file in Rizom, before bringing it back to Houdini. In the Rizom preferences, you should also make sure that the "file suffix added when saving" is empty.

Automatic Roundtrip will send the selected object to Rizom, clear its UV's, try to do a simple unwrap, and export it back to Houdini all automatically.
<aside> 💡 The HDA version of the bridge is the procedural version of above, and in addition to being in the toolset, is now maintained by SideFX Labs.
