UsdLayerWrite
UsdLayerWrite creates a USD layer, allowing you to write USD data directly to a stage from an editable scene description. This node is a useful tool for quickly adding content to specific locations within your scene.
You can edit the USD file within the Parameters tab or use an external text editor.
Note: UsdLayerWrite primarily serves as a tool for debugging your pipeline, providing a quick and straightforward means of testing and validating your USD setup.
