Transparency check for hidden mesh detection
New option to generate UsdGeomMesh prims instead of shape prims
Coorient Faces option in mesh cleanup to reverse any faces to ensure consistent manifold orientation for edges shared by two faces
New operation that can find different types of prims that can be removed from the stage and provides options for how to remove them
New Operation to find prims that have primvars describing UVs (texture coordinates) that appear to be unused and then remove or block them
