solaris layout node can not work well with arnold

I create a simple stage, add some grass with instancer node, and create some rocks with layout node,. as you can see, the first image was rendered at scene view, the second one was rendered by kick, rocks changed position and scale. I am working with houdini 19,   arnold can't render cryptomatte with husk, so I render beauty with husk, and everything is fine, when I export the whole scene as a usd file, get my cryptomatte layer with kick, all the stuff created by layout node change the position.

by the way, object created by layout also can not set attribute with render geometry setting node, like matte or primary visibility

Try upgrading to the latest htoa so you get cryptomatte support. From the release notes:

 

03 Aug 2022 

HtoA 6.1.3.0 is a minor feature release using Arnold 7.1.3.0, bringing several USD improvements, including Cryptomatte support in Solaris, as well as improved volume shading, support for pinned curves and improved nested instancers.

I have tested the latest htoa, render cryptomatte with husk,  everything looks good, although kick still can't render the right cryptomatte, and render geometry setting node still can not effect layout node,  unless I change the layout method from point instancer to reference.  instancer node don't have this issue.
