Hi.
Im in Windows 19.5.403 I have used the component builder to set up a bunch of random rocks, and rock colors. Expole variants works fine to see what I have done. But when I follow Chris Rydalch's Solaris (creating usd assets with component builder) workshop video around 43 mins in. He seems to be able to use the instancer to randomly select the variants. I get errors about the stage note being flattened. I have saved out the rocks as usd and tried asset referencing them back in and it still does not work. Has anyone had any success with this. I can see the expore variants LOP has changed since this example in the video. I dont get what I am doing wrong.
Best. Mark

It looks like this hip file was using customized versions of the component geometry node? I can't say how those changes may have changed things, but I've added a setup that works w/ the vanilla nodes in that hip file.
You need to un-toggle "Only Copy Specified Prototype Primitives", when using the Explore Variants; otherwise the prototypes don't have all the information they need, because the source rock asset isn't a child of the prototype prim, it's a sibling.
Hope that helps!

I'm o.d.d.
