Hi, I was wondering where the node description editor is gone?
In Isaac 2023 we had it under Window->Visual Scripting → Node Description Editor.
In Isaac 4.0 and 4.1, it’s gone, why?
The Node Description Editor has indeed been removed, as confirmed by the warning in the ROS 2 Custom Omnigraph Node Python tutorial. The tutorial states:
The content of this tutorial is currently broken due to the removal of the Node Description Editor dependency in Omniverse Kit. An alternative solution will be proposed in future releases.
For those affected by this change, I recommend keeping an eye on upcoming updates from NVIDIA for alternative solutions.
In the meantime how can we create custom omnigraph Python nodes?
I found that it works for me to install and use the 2023 version of Isaac Sim to create the nodes and then just work with the new Isaac Sim version afterwards. The editing of the nodes can also be done by modifying the .ogn and .py files, independent of Isaac Sim.
