I have a simple boolean fracture sure, but when I export with an alembic rop, I get the mesh in Maya as a single object. Does anyone have an example file with proper Alembic export parameters? I will post a hip file myself when I get home in 2 hours. Any help would be appreciated. I've already spent over 6 hours trying to different export options.

have you tried in Maya to simply select the object>Mesh>Separate ?

Hi there, yes I have tried to separate the mesh, but it still treats the mesh like a single object. I've attached a hip file here, for anyone who's willing to take a look and try to help.

Thanks!

Use the path attribute to determine the exact shape and transform (group) nodes and hierarchy you desire. Ensure the Alembic ROP node has the option enabled to use the path attribute.
