To Import an FBX File

To import an FBX file into Composite:

Select File > Import or press Ctrl + I(for Windows and Linux) or Cmd + I( for Mac OS).
The File Browser is displayed.
Locate the folder in which the FBX file (.fbx) resides.
Right-click import or click the Import button to import and select Import 3D Scene.
Note
Multiple FBX files can be imported into Composite at the same time.

The Embedded Script Console displays the progress of the import.
Open the File Browser using the The Gate UI or by pressing Ctrl + O (for Windows and Linux) or Cmd + O (for Mac OS).
Open the imported composition. The composition name is based on the FBX file name but without its extension.

WarningThere is currently no mechanism in Composite that locks imported objects to their original values. If an object's values are changed by mistake, use the undo feature or Ctrl + Z (for Windows and Linux) or Cmd + Z ( for Mac OS). Pressing Reset will reset the values to the default settings of the identity matrix, not to the original values of the object.
