Display Layers

The 3ds Max FBX Plug-in automatically imports Display layers and does not appear in the 3ds Max FBX Plug-in user interface. When an FBX file contains display layers, it imports objects with their Object Properties set to “By Layer”.

NoteLayer properties are only supported by layers that are not layer 0; FBX does not recognize layer 0. For example, if you have objects in Layer 0 and Layer 1, FBX ignores the Layer 0 properties but retains the layer property information for Layer 1.

The following Display Layer properties are imported:

Layer Member List
Layer Names
Display as Box
Freeze Attribute
Hide
Color
