When RenderMan for Houdini is properly installed, RenderMan-specific parameters are added to the Render Settings LOP under the RenderMan tab. These parameters are the same parameters found on the RenderMan ROP, with some additions. (These additions are parameters that exist in RenderMan but that RfH handles internally, while hdprman in Solaris does not.) 

You can find out more about the renderer options [here](https://renderman.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/REN26/pages/19661985).

By default, none of the parameters are set in USD unless specified by the control parameter, whose options are:

- Set or Create - Create an attribute opinion or override an existing opinion.
- Set if Exists - Override existing opinion on the attribute.
- Block - deactivate attribute opinion. Read about Attribute Block functionality [here](https://graphics.pixar.com/usd/docs/USD-Glossary.html#USDGlossary-attributeblock).
- Do Nothing - no change.

The Solaris Render Stage also has control for the Display view. Note that these settings can be overridden by the settings above if a node exists. 

You may also choose which node to take settings from by viewing RenderMan persp (next to the camera choice) > Render Settings > Choose the node with your preferred settings. The render tab contains the correct options.
