| `-accessibilityLabel` | `-al` | string | | Adds an Accessibility label to the default prim. This should be short and concise. |
| `-accessibilityDescription` | `-ad` | string | | Adds an Accessibility description to the default prim. This can be more verbose and detailed. |

Note: the -metersPerUnit and -exportDistanceUnit are one way to change the exported units, the -unit is another.
We keep both to keep backward compatibility, but the -unit option is the favored way to handle the units.
