Creating collections using Python Jan. 18, 2025, 9:57 a.m.

You python code isn't correctly creating the CollectionAPI. To add a new collection to a prim, you need to call UsdCollecitonAPI::Apply (https://openusd.org/dev/api/class_usd_collection_a_p_i.html#a4c9c1226d01a049864cc0d437900c458). This adds the metadata to the prim indicating that the collection exists. The code you've written just creates some attributes that are associated with a collection with a particular name, but doesn't actually register the collection instance on the prim.

can you give a full example in python? I created a collection but houdini doesn't recognise it in the collections list.
