usd_collectionexpansionrule

Since18.0

string  usd_collectionexpansionrule(<stage>stage, string collectionpath)

This function returns the collection’s expansion rule.

USD supports a few standard expansion rules

  • explicitOnly - only paths in the include list and not in the exclude list belong to the collection
  • expandPrims - all the primitives at or below the includes (but not excludes) belong to the collection
  • expanPrimsAndProperties - like expandPrims but also includes properties of matched primitives

<stage>

When running in the context of a node (such as a wrangle LOP), this argument can be an integer representing the input number (starting at 0) to read the stage from. The integer is equivalent to the string form referencing a particular input, e.g., “opinput:0”.

You can also use this argument to refer to a USD file (e.g., “/path/to/file.usd”), or to another LOP node’s cooked stage using the op: as the path prefix (e.g., “op:/stage/lop_node”).

collectionpath

The path to the collection.

Returns

The collection’s expansion rule.
