[3DSMAX] Import and Export a USD file with Maxscript. Import does not work

OccultMonk

I tried the normal import function (Export works but import does not work):
ExportFile filePath FileFormat:#USD Lights:false Cameras:false contentSource:#selected   (V)
ImportFile filePath FileFormat:#USD Lights:false Cameras:false contentSource:#selected   (X)

I tried the USDImporter function (But it returns 0):
USDImporter.importFile "X:\Filepath\Filename.USD"

Here is the documentation:
https://help.autodesk.com/view/MAXDEV/2022/ENU/?guid=MAXScript_USD_UsdImporter_html

Can someone help me? Thanks!

have you tried 

USDImporter.importFile

with the importOptions: set ?

@Klunk I find the documentation a bit difficult to read. Do you maybe have a simple example?

Klunk

in it's simplest form something like....
opts = USDImporter.CreateOptions()

opts.reset()
USDImporter.importFile myfile importOptions:opts
