ovui-widgets Property Inspector

NVIDIA ovui-widgets-property

1. What is ovui-widgets-property?

ovui-widgets-property is the Property Inspector distribution of ovui-widgets, the production-shaped scene-widget family built on ovui — NVIDIA's standalone distribution of the Omniverse omni.ui UI framework. It builds type-appropriate editors for the attributes and metadata of whatever is selected, and it runs standalone: no Omniverse Kit installation required.

The inspector follows application selection and reads through the PropertyAdapter contract from ovui-data-adapters-common, so it works identically against OpenUSD, mock, or project-specific property data. It is the Property Inspector hosted by the ovui-widgets USD Viewer application.

ovui is pre-release software and is not enterprise-supported.

2. What functionalities are available, and who are the target users?

What you can do with it:

• Edit typed properties — type-dispatched editors for scalar values, vectors, colors, tokens, relationships, assets, matrices, and arrays, plus specialized property sections.
• Handle multi-selection — ambiguity presentation when selected objects disagree, with well-defined reset behavior.
• Author safely — edit begin/set/end calls that integrate with the shared application undo manager.
• Extend the surface — add new editor types and sections through the property scheme registry.

Who benefits:

• USD tool & application developers — ship a production-shaped property editor without hand-building per-type widgets.
• Teams with custom data models — expose project-specific attributes through PropertyAdapter and reuse the identical inspector.

Installation:

python -m pip install ovui-widgets-property

The inspector is normally hosted by the ovui-widgets-app USD Viewer application, which wires it to app selection and the selected data-adapter provider; it can also be embedded directly in a custom ovui application.

4. System requirements

• Python 3.10+ declared by the wheel; the ovui runtime underneath the widget family requires Python 3.12+
• Linux (Ubuntu 22.04 / Debian) and Windows (Windows 11 / Windows Server 2022), x86_64 — the platforms supported by the ovui runtime
• Declared dependencies: ovui-widgets-common>=0.1.0, ovui-data-adapters-common>=0.1.0
• A concrete data-adapter provider (for example ovui-data-adapters-openusd) supplies the property data at runtime

---

5. Licensing

• Governed by the NVIDIA Software License Agreement and the Product Specific Terms for NVIDIA Omniverse.
• Source-available for inspection; pre-release versions are provided AS-IS and are not currently open to external contributions.

Note: ovui is pre-release Early Access software and is not enterprise-supported. APIs may change before the 1.0 release.
