FBXImportMergeBackNullPivots

FBXImportMergeBackNullPivots -v [true|false];

FBXImportMergeBackNullPivots -q;

True

Assigns the rotation transformation of the null (or joints) elements in the hierarchy that are used as pre-rotation and post- rotation to the joint orient and the rotate axis of the original node.

The pre-rotation and post-rotation nodes are then deleted.

The look-up is done by name as the pre-rotation node's name contains the “__Pre_ “suffix, while the post-rotation node's name has a “__Post_” suffix.

Note

When the import mode is set to Update animation or Add and Update animation this option is automatically set to True.
