FBXImport

Imports an FBX file. You can customize what information to import by running any of the FBXImport* commands before running this command. The available FBXImport* commands are listed in the See Also section on this page. To set options that don't have assciated FBXExport* command you can use FBXImport "option" to create the import options property page and use SetValue to modify it.

Note: The FBXImport* commands are the scripting equivalent of setting the same values for importing FBX files through the UI (FBX Importer dialog) with the exception of the FBXImportNamespaceReplacement command.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
FilePathName	String	Full path and filename of FBX file to import. Default Value: If not specified, a file browser pops up to pick the file to import.
TakeNb	Long	Number of the take to be imported. Specifying TakeID "0" is the equivalent of specifying No Animation - it loads the last take in the file. Any number greater than or equal to the number of takes in the file does not load the animation. Default Value: -1

var fso = new ActiveXObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" );
if ( fso.FileExists(fbxfile) ) {
        // First make sure the FBX Import settings are set to take animation
        FBXImportAnimation( true );
        // Then specify take 1 while importing
        FBXImport( fbxfile, 1 );
