AbcImport -h;
//
AbcImport [options] File
Options:
-rpr/ reparent DagPath
reparent the whole hierarchy under a node in the
current Maya scene
-ftr/ fitTimeRange
Change Maya time slider to fit the range of input file.
-rcs / recreateAllColorSets
IC3/4fArrayProperties with face varying scope on
IPolyMesh and ISubD are treated as color sets even if
they weren't written out of Maya.
-ct / connect string node1 node2 ...
The nodes specified in the argument string are supposed to be the names of top level nodes from the input file.
If such a node doesn't exist in the provided input file, awarning will be given and nothing will be done.
If Maya DAG node of the same name doesn't exist in the current Maya scene, a warning will be given and nothing will be done.
If such a node exists both in the input file and in the current Maya scene, data for the whole hierarchy from the nodes down
(inclusive) will be substituted by data from the input file, and connections to the AlembicNode will be made or updated accordingly.
If string "/" is used as the root name, all top level nodes from the input file will be used for updating the current Maya scene.
Again if certain node doesn't exist in the current scene, a warning will be given and nothing will be done.
If a single node is specified and it exists in the Maya scene but doesn't exist in the archive, children of that node will be connected to the children of the archive.
-crt/ createIfNotFound
Used only when -connect flag is set.
-rm / removeIfNoUpdate
Used only when -connect flag is set.
-sts/ setToStartFrame
Set the current time to the start of the frame range
-m / mode string ("open"|"import"|"replace")
Set read mode to open/import/replace (default to import)
-ft / filterObjects "regex1 regex2 ..."
Selective import cache objects whose name matches with
-eft / excludeFilterObjects "regex1 regex2 ..."
Selective exclude cache objects whose name matches with
the input regular expressions.
-h / help Print this message
-d / debug Turn on debug message printout
Example:
AbcImport -h;
AbcImport -d -m open "/tmp/test.abc";
AbcImport -ftr -ct "/" -crt -rm "/mcp/test.abc";
AbcImport -ct "root1 root2 root3 ..." "/mcp/test.abc";
