Quick Tutorials#

If you are new to NVIDIA Isaac Sim, we recommend that you review the GUI references and complete the two tutorials listed below.

In the Quick Tutorials, all the actions that can be performed in the GUI, can be performed using Python. You can switch between performing actions in the GUI and in Python. Anything you make inside the GUI can be saved as part the USD file.

For example, you can create the world, include the actions needed for your robots using the GUI. Then pull the entire USD file into a standalone Python script and systematically modify properties there as needed.
