The previous stage in the scene you want to affect.

The root path of the new object. Path defaults a prim path variable {parent}/{nodename} which is equal to the node name, such as GeoScope1 or GeoScope5.

Sets the type of prim to create if there are missing ancestors in the path.

Note:  Setting the Parent Type to None may cause some referenced objects to behave as if they don't exist.

Sets the Kind associated with this object. Nuke only uses Kinds with the GeoDrawMode node, which allows you to display complicated geometry in a simplified form, such as a bounding box or crossed cards, to load scenes faster. It's also good practice to follow the conventions on the use of Kind to create properly-constructed USD stages if you intend to export the scene for use in your pipeline. The model option is valid, but should not be used in most cases:

• model - the root prim in the scene, which is a superclass of group and component.

• assembly - used to denote an important group in the scene.

• group - a container for other kinds.

• component - a leaf kind, which cannot contain other kinds apart from subcomponents.

• subcomponent - a special leaf kind for use in components.

Sets the object’s purpose, which can be used to control how a scene is rendered:

• default - the object has no particular purpose and is rendered by default.

• render - the object is the full resolution version for use when rendering the scene.

• proxy - the object is a proxy version used for test purposes, which can be a lower resolution to decrease render times.

• guide - the object is not rendered, but is visible in the Viewer for reference.

Note:  The render, proxy, and guide purposes are only displayed in the 3D Viewer when they are enabled in the Viewer Properties in the 3D tab.
