entity_prim

EntityPrim

Bases: XFormPrim

Provides high level functions to deal with an articulation prim and its attributes/ properties. Note that this type of prim cannot be created from scratch, and assumes there is already a pre-existing prim tree that should be converted into an articulation!

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
prim_path str

prim path of the Prim to encapsulate or create.

required
name str

Name for the object. Names need to be unique per scene.

required
load_config None or dict

If specified, should contain keyword-mapped values that are relevant for loading this prim at runtime. Note that by default, this assumes an articulation already exists (i.e.: load() will raise NotImplementedError)! Subclasses must implement _load() for this prim to be able to be dynamically loaded after this class is created.

visual_only (None or bool): If specified, whether this prim should include collisions or not. Default is True.

None
