Hi,
I’m using PV 5.12 on a workstation and am using a preset transfer function to set up my visualization. I save this in a Python trace but when I use the generated script on another machine it doesn’t have the information for my requested transfer function. Is there a way to have this included in my generated Python trace script?
Thanks,
Andy

Try tracing the Transform filter?

I created a custom transfer function for my volume viz. What I ended up doing was exporting the custom transfer function, copying it to the HPC machine, then added the custom transfer function with:
```auto
ImportPresets(filename=, location=16)
```
