Querying stage selection python

[daviddeacon]

Hi,

I'm developing some artist friendly tools to automate working with the USD stage in Maya. I'm used to use cmds.ls(sl=True) and cmds.getAttr(item) to get information from Maya native nodes, but what would be the equivalent for querying selection and attributes from the stage / prims?

Thanks,
David.

Hi @daviddeacon,

Not sure if you have any preferences in APIs, but here is one way that allows you to get to USD APIs and then list attributes with it.

from mayaUsd.lib import proxyAccessor as pa
import mayaUsd.lib as mayaUsdLib

from pxr import Usd


shapePath, sdfPath = pa.getSelectedDagAndPrim()
    
stage = mayaUsdLib.GetPrim(shapePath).GetStage()
primPath = Sdf.Path(sdfPath)
prim = stage.GetPrimAtPath(primPath)
print(prim.GetAttributes())

Cheers,
KxL
