Hey guys wondering if anyone has come across this:

I publish subdivisionSceheme as part of the lookdev layer on a global asset level. When animation's geo contribution comes over the top, it's coming with its own opinion on the subdivisionScheme. I cant figure out how to author the anim data without that property override. I can open published .usda, delete the subdivisionScheme override, then things layer up as I expect when I put the anim on top of the laid-out asset.

But is there a way to write this clean anim data straight out of solaris?

Appreciate any help!
Phil

Where is the animation layer being authored from? On the SOP Import, if you don't enable "Treat Polygons as Subdivision Surfaces", the SOP Import shouldn't author a subdiv scheme opinion.
