Hi there,

In the past (I believe) I did manage to get correct names back into Maya for my packed objects.
I'm using packed geometry because this gives me transformations on the transform node in Maya.
When I use “Build Hierarchy From Attribute” and name my pack “Beam_0” I get:

But what I want is:

When I'm not using packed geometry and set the name attribute explicitly to “/Beam_0/Beam_0Shape” I get the correct names and hierarchy.
But then I loose the transformation so that's a no-go.
I rather not make a script to fix the names after import.
Are there any other attributes I can use or mis-use to get this working?

cheers,
benS

When using an explicit path attribute, and the ‘transform’ part of the path is unique for each packed primitive, configure the alembic rop as such:

Build Hierarchy From Attribute ( On )
Path Attribute ( path )
Packed Transform ( Merge With Parent Transform )
Use Instancing Where possible ( Off )

Hi Jonathan,

Your settings work, nice and clean.

thanks,
