Heyja,

I was wondering if it's possible to grab the persp camera from the current viewport as a Usd.Gf.Camera.

Essentially what I wanna do is build a radial menu with most common tools. I work in environments so we'll place assets a lot. What I'm thinking of doing is

1) grab the 2d position of the current radial menu or mouse if I can't get the position of the menu
2) shoot a ray into the stage
3) get the 3d position where the ray intersects
4) place a new node with its transforms set to that hit

I'd assume essentially what you're doing with your snapping tools. Do I have to do that in c++ and hydra or is there any way I can tap into that with python?

cheers,
Florens

Think I found a lot of hints in here. Will give this a go and see if it gets me there.
