Show/Hide UI
 
 
 

Activate the Show/Hide UI option to display the FBX UI. This option is active by default. This is useful when automating scripts if you do not want the UI to appear.

Disable this option to hide the FBX UI for future operations.

If you disable this option, the following message appears:

NoteIf you disable Show/Hide UI, this UI is NOT visible for future import operations. To restore UI visibility, hold down the SHIFT key during import.

During your next import operation, the following message displays:

Hold the “Shift” key of your keyboard to display the FBX UI.

Note The Maya FBX Plug-in sets this option independently for import and export plug-ins. This means that if you want to hide the FBX UI for both the FBX Importer and Exporter, you must set this option separately in both UIs.
