The Save Options dialog is split into three areas:
The Save Options Assets area provides a list of all MotionBuilder assets you can save.
Save Options Assets area
For both the Save Options Assets and Settings areas, the following symbols indicate whether a setting, asset, or the asset’s animation is saved to the .fbx file:
| Symbol | Description |

You can right-click the heading of each column to set all items to save or discard.
The Save Options Takes area shows all the takes in the scene. Use the Takes area to select which take(s) to be saved with your .fbx file. The Save Options Takes area consists of the following settings:
| Takes options | Description |

The Save Options Settings area lets you choose MotionBuilder settings to save with your file.
