Issue: imported USD asset doesn't have an Object Layer properties, and thus no option for a few things such as light linking.
Object Layer docs: https://docs.otoy.com/StandaloneH_STA/StandaloneManual.htm#StandaloneSTA/ObjectLayerNode.htm?Highlight=object%20layer
Regular box vs imported USD asset (animated or not):
Is this a bug or I'm doing something wrong? Thank you.
