Best you send us the scene along with the .usd and its instance so we can take a look. Mention me and include a link to this thread.

Filled a bug. #16770
But i forgot to add the USD instance. Is there a way to add a file later to the bug ID?

[hermit.crab]

Send it again, I'll close the other one.

[oglu]

Done. Thanks for looking into!

Okay, I see. Just so you know, I've logged the issue (internal bug-tracker id: VMAYA-10965) for investigation.

Do you see the scattered robots in the viewport? Just to make sure the setup does work.
