Import Asset through console/python

Omniverse Archive Samples & Examples

Hi, is there a way to import an usd asset through the script editor?

So short answer is, YES! However, that is where my expertise ends. I contacted the Kit development team to help us out. Have you had a chance to look at our Kit Programming Manual?

Hi! It should be something as simple as getting the context and calling open_stage*:

import omni.usd
omni.usd.get_context().open_stage_with_callback(path, None)

Please refer to ā€œomni.usd moduleā€ section in the documentation WendyGram posted above for furter API details.

Hi, thanks for the quick response. However (O cannot try it now sorry) this seems to open a stage, not to load the USD within the current scene. Is this correct? I want to do the latter, so having a USD with the environment for example, and programmatically load prim/USD inside the scene.

Hello @marc2002! The development team got back to me with some coding help. This code will create a reference.

import omni.kit.commands
from omni import usd

omni.kit.commands.execute('CreateReferenceCommand',
      usd_context=omni.usd.get_context(),
      path_to='/my_prim_path',
      asset_path='C:/path/to/my_file.usd',
      instanceable=True)

Let me know if this helps!
