The Universal Scene Description (USD) importer reads USD assets as static models or start shapes. It supports the file extensions ".usd", ".usda", ".usdc", and ".usdz" and recognizes the USD node types "mesh" and "cube". The importer can read scenes consisting of more than one USD file, see the USD exporter file structure for more information. Additionally for static models, if the USDPreviewSurface material type is present, they are displayed as CityEngine PBR Material.
