Hi Alan -
That feature request is on the list as RH-78662 create import for USD
FWIW, if you have a recent iPhone or iPad, you could use iRhino to import the .usdz file…

Hi Wim,
Thank you for the update… Understood regarding irhino, it was this work flow that lead me down this path… bringing a scanned object from irhino into Rhino 8. The work around I found was a plugin for blender that allows the import of usdz files and then export as obj from there… then just wondered if was in the pipeline for rhino to have the same feature, so thank you for confirming and glad to see its on the list.
Cheers,
Alan
Hi, sorry if i resume this thread.
I’m working on a ankle mechanism for a humanoid robot. I’m able to create the mechanism in GH and thanks to RH8 and Python i can also write the URDF or some other xml-based file.
But i would love to use USD to do some simulation in IsaacLab or similar.
So, i need to export the USD with the physics for the joints.
So i would like to know if there is a way to export them with the current RH8 USD export option (maybe i’m missing how to do it).
I also know that there is a repo for a plugin (GitHub - mcneel/RhinoUSD: Rhino USD I/O Plug-ins) but honestly i’m having trouble understanding how to install it, so if you guys can help me out, it would be great!
Doesn’t really answer your question, but you can import URDF files in isaacsim.
yes you are right, but we would like to switch to a USD if it is possible. Several other don’t like URDF but are ok with USD for example
Hello- is there anything new regarding nurbs in USD?
If usd supports Nurbs patches, Curves and trimm curves- Universal Scene Description: UsdGeomNurbsPatch Class Reference
then ist could be supported by Rhino USD right?
