Quick Reference

C++

auto variants = sphere.GetPrim().GetVariantSets();
auto variant = variants.AddVariantSet("some_variant");

variant.AddVariant("variant_name_1");

auto radius = sphere.GetRadiusAttr();

{
    variant.SetVariantSelection("variant_name_1");
    pxr::UsdEditContext context {variant.GetVariantEditContext()};
    radius.Set(1.0);
}

Python

variants = sphere.GetPrim().GetVariantSets().AddVariantSet('some_variant_set')
variants.AddVariant('variant_name_1')

variants.SetVariantSelection('variant_name_1')
with variants.GetVariantEditContext():
    sphere.GetRadiusAttr().Set(1)
