[MAYA-123818] Cannot use Universal Manipulator on usd prims

[gracekumagai]

Describe the bug When selecting the Universal Manipulator using Ctrl+T or from the Modify menu -> Transformation Tools -> Universal Manipulator, nothing appears around the selected prims.

Steps to reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open kitchen_set_instanced
2. Select any model. For example: |Kitchen_set_instanced|Kitchen_set_instancedShape,/Kitchen_set/Props_grp/DiningTable_grp/TableTop_grp/Spoon_2 We would expect to see and use the manipulator.

Expected behavior We would expect to be able to use the Universal Manipulator to transform prims. Similar to native maya.

we have a fix for this internally, however, it is worth mentioning the fix here requires changes into the maya code itself, so those will not be visible on released Maya versions for the time being.

Hi @santosg87 - I heard mention that this was addressed in MayaUsd 0.27. What version of Maya is required?

[santosg87]

the fixes for this required Maya changes that would break compatibility on older maya builds, so this one will only be avaialble on maya 2025 builds.

[santosg87]

closing this issue for the time being, as we have the fixes available already. as mentioned previosuly, the fixes for this require maya 2025.
