Important to note, if a child location is explicitly included then ancestors will also be visible regardless of their current state. Therefore locations can be either included with or without inheritance, or excluded with or without inheritance, matching the same workflow as the Viewer Visibility Working Set seen in the Scene Graph tab.

The states in which each location is viewed will act in the same manner as on the Katana side. When enabled, USD location visibility to the Hydra viewer will be driven by this working set. However, this will be disabled when the following working sets are enabled. While in this mode, users will be able to view USD location data through deferred recursive expansion of their scene tree.
