What is the difference between an Error and a Warning?

The 3ds Max FBX Plug-in uses errors and warnings to alert you of conversions and potential problems during the import process.

When something unexpected occurs during the conversion, the plug-in reports an error. This error occurs because the plug-in encounters an unknown behavior and the conversion is going to produce an unexpected result.

When the plug-in must apply a conversion to the source data for it to be in a format that the destination application can read, a warning is reported. This warning is not the indication of a problem, but instead exists to provide a report of conversions that have been applied to the incoming data.
