Detailed Description

UsdPrim is the sole persistent scenegraph object on a UsdStage, and is the embodiment of a "Prim" as described in the Universal Scene Description Composition Compendium

A UsdPrim is the principal container of other types of scene description. It provides API for accessing and creating all of the contained kinds of scene description, which include:

As well as access to the API objects for properties contained within the prim - UsdPrim as well as all of the following classes are subclasses of UsdObject:

UsdPrim also provides access to iteration through its prim children, optionally making use of the prim predicates facility (GetChildren(), GetAllChildren(), GetFilteredChildren()).

Lifetime Management

Clients acquire UsdPrim objects, which act like weak/guarded pointers to persistent objects owned and managed by their originating UsdStage. We provide the following guarantees for a UsdPrim acquired via UsdStage::GetPrimAtPath() or UsdStage::OverridePrim() or UsdStage::DefinePrim():

  • As long as no further mutations to the structure of the UsdStage are made, the UsdPrim will still be valid. Loading and Unloading are considered structural mutations.
  • When the UsdStage's structure is mutated, the thread performing the mutation will receive a UsdNotice::ObjectsChanged notice after the stage has been reconfigured, which provides details as to what prims may have been created or destroyed, and what prims may simply have changed in some structural way.

Prim access in "reader" threads should be limited to GetPrimAtPath(), which will never cause a mutation to the Stage or its layers.

Please refer to UsdNotice for a listing of the events that could cause UsdNotice::ObjectsChanged to be emitted.

◆ AddAppliedSchema()

USD_API bool AddAppliedSchema ( const TfToken appliedSchemaName) const

Adds the applied API schema name token appliedSchemaName to the apiSchemas metadata for this prim at the current edit target.

For multiple-apply schemas the name token should include the instance name for the applied schema, for example 'CollectionAPI:plasticStuff'.

The name will only be added if the list operation at the edit target does not already have this applied schema in its explicit, prepended, or appended lists and is always added to the end of either the prepended or explicit items.

Returns true upon success or if the API schema is already applied in the current edit target.

An error is issued and false returned for any of the following conditions:

  • this prim is not a valid prim for editing
  • this prim is valid, but cannot be reached or overridden in the current edit target
  • the schema name cannot be added to the apiSchemas listOp metadata

Unlike ApplyAPI this method does not require that the name token refer to a valid API schema type. ApplyAPI is the preferred method for applying valid API schemas.

◆ ApplyAPI() [1/8]

bool ApplyAPI ( ) const
inline

Applies a single-apply API schema with the given C++ type SchemaType to this prim in the current edit target.

This information is stored by adding the API schema's name token to the token-valued, listOp metadata apiSchemas on this prim.

Returns true upon success or if the API schema is already applied in the current edit target.

An error is issued and false returned for any of the following conditions:

  • this prim is not a valid prim for editing
  • this prim is valid, but cannot be reached or overridden in the current edit target
  • the schema name cannot be added to the apiSchemas listOp metadata

Definition at line 1116 of file prim.h.

◆ ApplyAPI() [2/8]

bool ApplyAPI ( const TfToken instanceName) const
inline

Applies a multiple-apply API schema with the given C++ type SchemaType and instance name instanceName to this prim in the current edit target.

This information is stored in the token-valued, listOp metadata apiSchemas on this prim. For example, if SchemaType is 'UsdCollectionAPI' and instanceName is 'plasticStuff', the name 'CollectionAPI:plasticStuff' is added to the 'apiSchemas' listOp metadata.

Returns true upon success or if the API schema is already applied with this instanceName in the current edit target.

An error is issued and false returned for any of the following conditions:

  • instanceName is empty
  • this prim is not a valid prim for editing
  • this prim is valid, but cannot be reached or overridden in the current edit target
  • the schema name cannot be added to the apiSchemas listOp metadata

◆ CanApplyAPI() [1/8]

bool CanApplyAPI ( const TfToken instanceName,
std::string *  whyNot = nullptr 
) const
inline

Returns whether a multiple-apply API schema with the given C++ type SchemaType can be applied to this prim with the given instanceName.

If the return value is false, and whyNot is provided, the reason the schema cannot be applied is written to whyNot.

Whether the schema can be applied is determined by the schema type definition which may specify that the API schema can only be applied to certain prim types. It also determines whether the instance name is a valid instance name for the multiple apply schema.

The return value of this function only indicates whether it would be valid to apply this schema to the prim. It has no bearing on whether calling ApplyAPI will be successful or not.

◆ ComputeExpandedPrimIndex()

USD_API PcpPrimIndex ComputeExpandedPrimIndex ( ) const

Compute the prim index containing all sites that could contribute opinions to this prim.

This function is similar to UsdPrim::GetPrimIndex. However, the returned prim index includes all sites that could possibly contribute opinions to this prim, not just the sites that currently do so. This is useful in certain situations; for example, this could be used to generate a list of sites where clients could make edits to affect this prim, or for debugging purposes.

For all prims in prototypes, including the prototype prim itself, this is the expanded version of the prim index that was chosen to be shared with all other instances. Thus, the prim index's path will not be the same as the prim's path. Note that this behavior deviates slightly from UsdPrim::GetPrimIndex which always returns an empty prim index for the prototype prim itself.

This function may be relatively slow, since it will recompute the prim index on every call. Clients should prefer UsdPrim::GetPrimIndex unless the additional site information is truly needed.

See also
UsdPrimCompositionQuery::GetDirectInherits

◆ GetInstances()

USD_API std::vector< UsdPrim > GetInstances ( ) const

If this prim is a prototype prim, returns all prims that are instances of this prototype.

Definition at line 147 of file prim.h.

◆ GetPrimIndex()

const PcpPrimIndex & GetPrimIndex ( ) const
inline

Return the cached prim index containing all sites that can contribute opinions to this prim.

The prim index can be used to examine the composition arcs and scene description sites that can contribute to this prim's property and metadata values.

The prim index returned by this function is optimized and may not include sites that do not contribute opinions to this prim. Use UsdPrim::ComputeExpandedPrimIndex to compute a prim index that includes all possible sites that could contribute opinions.

This prim index will be empty for prototype prims. This ensures that these prims do not provide any attribute or metadata values. For all other prims in prototypes, this is the prim index that was chosen to be shared with all other instances. In either case, the prim index's path will not be the same as the prim's path.

Prim indexes may be invalidated by changes to the UsdStage and cannot detect if they are expired. Clients should avoid keeping copies of the prim index across such changes, which include scene description changes or changes to load state.

Definition at line 2133 of file prim.h.

◆ GetPrimInPrototype()

UsdPrim GetPrimInPrototype ( ) const
inline

If this prim is an instance proxy, return the UsdPrim for the corresponding prim in the instance's prototype.

◆ GetPrimStack()

USD_API SdfPrimSpecHandleVector GetPrimStack ( ) const

Return all the authored SdfPrimSpecs that may contain opinions for this prim in order from strong to weak.

This does not include all the places where contributing prim specs could potentially be created; rather, it includes only those prim specs that already exist. To discover all the places that prim specs could be authored that would contribute opinions, see "Composition Structure"

Note
Use this method for debugging and diagnostic purposes. It is not advisable to retain a PrimStack for expedited metadata value resolution, since not all metadata resolves with simple "strongest opinion wins" semantics.

◆ GetPrimStackWithLayerOffsets()

USD_API std::vector< std::pair< SdfPrimSpecHandle, SdfLayerOffset > > GetPrimStackWithLayerOffsets ( ) const

Return all the authored SdfPrimSpecs that may contain opinions for this prim in order from strong to weak paired with the cumulative layer offset from the stage's root layer to the layer containing the prim spec.

This behaves exactly the same as UsdPrim::GetPrimStack with the addition of providing the cumulative layer offset of each spec's layer.

Note
Use this method for debugging and diagnostic purposes. It is not advisable to retain a PrimStack for expedited metadata value resolution, since not all metadata resolves with simple "strongest opinion wins" semantics.

◆ GetPrimTypeInfo()

const UsdPrimTypeInfo & GetPrimTypeInfo ( ) const
inline

Return the prim's full type info composed from its type name, applied API schemas, and any fallback types defined on the stage for unrecognized prim type names.

The returned type structure contains the "true" schema type used to create this prim's prim definition and answer the IsA query. This value is cached and efficient to query. The cached values are guaranteed to exist for (at least) as long as the prim's stage is open.

Definition at line 140 of file prim.h.

◆ GetProperties()

USD_API std::vector< UsdProperty > GetProperties ( const PropertyPredicateFunc predicate = {}) const

Return all of this prim's properties (attributes and relationships), including all builtin properties, ordered by name according to the strongest propertyOrder statement in scene description if one exists, otherwise ordered according to TfDictionaryLessThan.

If a valid predicate is passed in, then only properties whose names
pass the predicate are included in the result. This is useful if the client is interested only in a subset of properties on the prim. For example, only the ones in a given namespace or only the ones needed to compute a value.

To obtain only either attributes or relationships, use either GetAttributes() or GetRelationships().

To determine whether a property is either an attribute or a relationship, use the UsdObject::As() and UsdObject::Is() methods in C++:

// Use As<>() to obtain a subclass instance.
if (UsdAttribute attr = property.As<UsdAttribute>()) {
// use attribute 'attr'.
else if (UsdRelationship rel = property.As<UsdRelationship>()) {
// use relationship 'rel'.
}
// Use Is<>() to discriminate only.
if (property.Is<UsdAttribute>()) {
// property is an attribute.
}
T As() const
Convert this UsdObject to another object type T if possible.
Definition: object.h:229

In Python, use the standard isinstance() function:

if isinstance(property, Usd.Attribute):
# property is a Usd.Attribute.
elif isinstance(property, Usd.Relationship):
# property is a Usd.Relationship.

Return this prim's properties that are inside the given property namespace ordered according to the strongest propertyOrder statement in scene description if one exists, otherwise ordered according to TfDictionaryLessThan.

A namespaces argument whose elements are ["ri", "attribute"] will return all the properties under the namespace "ri:attribute", i.e. "ri:attribute:*". An empty namespaces argument is equivalent to GetProperties().

For details of namespaced properties, see Names, Namespace Ordering, and Property Namespaces

◆ GetProperty()

USD_API UsdProperty GetProperty ( const TfToken propName) const

Return a UsdProperty with the name propName.

The property returned may or may not actually exist so it must be checked for validity. Suggested use:

USD_API UsdResolveTarget MakeResolveTargetStrongerThanEditTarget ( const UsdEditTarget editTarget) const

Creates and returns a resolve target that, when passed to a UsdAttributeQuery for one of this prim's attributes, causes value resolution to only consider specs that are stronger than the spec that would be authored for this prim when using the given editTarget.

If the edit target would not affect any specs that could contribute to this prim, a null resolve target is returned.

◆ MakeResolveTargetUpToEditTarget()

USD_API UsdResolveTarget MakeResolveTargetUpToEditTarget ( const UsdEditTarget editTarget) const

Creates and returns a resolve target that, when passed to a UsdAttributeQuery for one of this prim's attributes, causes value resolution to only consider weaker specs up to and including the spec that would be authored for this prim when using the given editTarget.

If the edit target would not affect any specs that could contribute to this prim, a null resolve target is returned.

◆ RemoveAPI() [1/8]

bool RemoveAPI ( ) const
inline

Removes a single-apply API schema with the given C++ type SchemaType from this prim in the current edit target.

This is done by removing the API schema's name token from the token-valued, listOp metadata apiSchemas on this prim as well as authoring an explicit deletion of schema name from the listOp.

Returns true upon success or if the API schema is already deleted in the current edit target.

An error is issued and false returned for any of the following conditions:

  • this prim is not a valid prim for editing
  • this prim is valid, but cannot be reached or overridden in the current edit target
  • the schema name cannot be deleted in the apiSchemas listOp metadata

Definition at line 1236 of file prim.h.

◆ RemoveAPI() [2/8]

bool RemoveAPI ( const TfToken instanceName) const
inline

Removes a multiple-apply API schema with the given C++ type 'SchemaType' and instance name instanceName from this prim in the current edit target.

This is done by removing the instanced schema name token from the token-valued, listOp metadata apiSchemas on this prim as well as authoring an explicit deletion of the name from the listOp. For example, if SchemaType is 'UsdCollectionAPI' and instanceName is 'plasticStuff', the name 'CollectionAPI:plasticStuff' is deleted from the 'apiSchemas' listOp metadata.

Returns true upon success or if the API schema with this instanceName is already deleted in the current edit target.

An error is issued and false returned for any of the following conditions:

  • instanceName is empty
  • this prim is not a valid prim for editing
  • this prim is valid, but cannot be reached or overridden in the current edit target
  • the schema name cannot be deleted in the apiSchemas listOp metadata

Definition at line 1278 of file prim.h.

◆ RemoveAPI() [3/8]

USD_API bool RemoveAPI ( const TfToken schemaFamily,
UsdSchemaVersion  schemaVersion 
) const

This is an overload of RemoveAPI that takes a schemaFamily and schemaVersion to determine the schema type.


◆ RemoveAPI() [4/8]

USD_API bool RemoveAPI ( const TfToken schemaFamily,
UsdSchemaVersion  schemaVersion,
const TfToken instanceName 
) const

This is an overload of RemoveAPI with instanceName that takes a schemaFamily and schemaVersion to determine the schema type.


◆ RemoveAPI() [5/8]

USD_API bool RemoveAPI ( const TfToken schemaIdentifier) const

This is an overload of RemoveAPI that takes a schemaIdentifier to determine the schema type.


◆ RemoveAPI() [6/8]

USD_API bool RemoveAPI ( const TfToken schemaIdentifier,
const TfToken instanceName 
) const

This is an overload of RemoveAPI with instanceName that takes a schemaIdentifier to determine the schema type.


◆ RemoveAPI() [7/8]

USD_API bool RemoveAPI ( const TfType schemaType) const

This is an overload of RemoveAPI that takes a TfType schemaType .

◆ RemoveAPI() [8/8]

USD_API bool RemoveAPI ( const TfType schemaType,
const TfToken instanceName 
) const

This is an overload of RemoveAPI with instanceName that takes a TfType schemaType .


◆ RemoveAppliedSchema()

USD_API bool RemoveAppliedSchema ( const TfToken appliedSchemaName) const

Removes the applied API schema name token appliedSchemaName from the apiSchemas metadata for this prim at the current edit target.

For multiple-apply schemas the name token should include the instance name for the applied schema, for example 'CollectionAPI:plasticStuff'

For an explicit list operation, this removes the applied schema name from the explicit items list if it was present. For a non-explicit list operation, this will remove any occurrence of the applied schema name from the prepended and appended item as well as adding it to the deleted items list.

Returns true upon success or if the API schema is already deleted in the current edit target.

An error is issued and false returned for any of the following conditions:

  • this prim is not a valid prim for editing
  • this prim is valid, but cannot be reached or overridden in the current edit target
  • the schema name cannot be deleted in the apiSchemas listOp metadata

Unlike RemoveAPI this method does not require that the name token refer to a valid API schema type. RemoveAPI is the preferred method for removing valid API schemas.

◆ RemoveProperty()

USD_API bool RemoveProperty ( const TfToken propName)

Remove all scene description for the property with the given propName in the current UsdEditTarget.

Return true if the property is removed, false otherwise.

Because this method can only remove opinions about the property from the current EditTarget, you may generally find it more useful to use UsdAttribute::Block(), which will ensure that all values from the EditTarget and weaker layers for the property will be ignored.
