Why mi.Properties() changes its entries' Type?

[Mephisto405]

import drjit as dr
import mitsuba as mi
import torch

mi.set_variant("cuda_ad_rgb")

scene = mi.load_dict(mi.cornell_box())
props = mi.Properties()
bb_min = scene.bbox().min
props["bb_min"] = scene.bbox().min

print(bb_min.Type) # it prints: VarType.Float32
print(props["bb_min"].Type) # it prints: VarType.Float64

I found this weird. Is it intended?

Hi @Mephisto405

This is "intended". The scene parsing is always done in double precision, hence the Properties object handles all floating point numbers in double precision too.
