If you are using Maya 2027’s latest feature – USD Variant Manager, sometime you may encounter a warning looks like
‘get_variant_editor_component_description’ is not defined
This may cause USD Variant Manager failed to update when a USD proxy node is removed.
You can fix it manually by updating maya_component_manager.py in the warning message from.
from usd_component_creator_plugin import (
update_variant_editor_window,
)
to
from usd_component_creator_plugin import (
update_variant_editor_window,
get_variant_editor_component_description,
find_maya_usd_proxy_shapes_for_filename
)
Now, the USD Variant Manager should be updating properly when a USD proxy node is removed. Enjoy it!
