Topic Description

Detailed Description

I am working on a basic tutorial for Isaac Sim from here: Physics Simulation Fundamentals — Isaac Sim Documentation
At Convex Hull chapter is saying to activate the debug window from Window > Simulation > Debug but I do not see Simulation option in my Window menu.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to Window check for Simulation

Error Messages

Simulation missing from Window menu.

What I’ve Tried

I tried stopping and starting the extension omni.physx.ui but the Isaac sim is crashing when I turn it off.

Summary

The menu path in the docs is wrong. Your Isaac Sim installation is fine.

Details

The Physics Simulation Fundamentals tutorial says to go to Window > Simulation > Debug, but that menu path comes from the base Omniverse Kit layout, which Isaac Sim overrides.

The correct path in Isaac Sim 5.1.0 is:

Utilities > Physics Debugger

Isaac Sim’s isaacsim.gui.menu extension reorganizes the default Kit menus. The Physics Debug window is remapped from Window > Physics > Debug (its original Kit location) to Utilities > Physics Debugger. There is no “Simulation” submenu under “Window” in Isaac Sim.
