You are probably right and I cant say im an expert in encapsulation. I hoped this would still be considered a composition arc where its a stronger refenrece/layer without messing with the underlying reference and break encapsulation. So In my understanding was that encapsulation was presered and proper overrides strength order was applied.

In this example i assumed references and sublayer to work the same but seems like it doesnt.

The goal is to have an assembly of grass and then do a sim ontop of that and then retime instance them. When layering them as an asset it breaks. Layering them as sublayer works fine. In this case we would prefer to have it in the reference because we are reusing the asset in different shots.

Wondering if somebody is usd savvy enough to know if this is intended or not

disclaimer: houdini 19.5 havent tried 20 yet

When switching shot context so the stage switched makes the camera stuck in previous as delayed. What works to fix it is the *reset native viewport camera* setting. I wonder if its possible to reach this with python somehow so we can run it automatically when switching.
