USD not showing all flow items

Flexsim seems to have difficulty exporting some flowitems to USD. I think its all the flow items that has another shape frame selected than the base frame. Its kinda a shame, cause it othervise looks reeeeeally nice in omniverse. In the example below it looks like that if the flow item is on another flowitem (subnode) it just dont show up.

If its on a transporter, like the agv in the right side of the image, it just shows up as a white cube, or at least sometimes, I cant seem to figure out the logic.:)

@Guldberg Do you have a small demo model you can upload?

@Phil BoBo Do you know if it is limitation in the current implementation of USD?

Hey @Guldberg, I was able to export to a usd file with boxes using different shape factors. They look fine in pallets and being transported by AGVs and Operators.

Are you using the Omniverse Connector or the USD Stage for exporting? Do you have a sample model for us to replicate the behavior? Thank you!

USDshapeframetest_existingmodel.fsmUSDshapeframetest_newmodel.fsmI actually tried to make a seperate model with the same flowitems with shape frames, there I can get it to work just fine. But In my other model (where I deleted everything not relevant to make the test) it doesnt work. I wonder what is triggering the issue.

I can confirm that we're not seeing shape frames of flowitems:

Also the operator textures are missing along with transparency.

I'll submit a case in the issue tracker.
