prim_base

BasePrim

Bases: Serializable, UniquelyNamed, Recreatable, ABC

Provides high level functions to deal with a basic prim and its attributes/ properties. If there is an Xform prim present at the path, it will use it. Otherwise, a new XForm prim at the specified prim path will be created.

the prim will have "xformOp:orient", "xformOp:translate" and "xformOp:scale" only post init,

unless it is a non-root articulation link.

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 this is only needed if the prim does not already exist at @prim_path -- it will be ignored if it already exists. Subclasses should define the exact keys expected for their class.

None
