Exporting FBX to 3D Tools (New for 5.5)

FBX Plug-in Version

• You do not need to adjust any further settings, because 3DXchange exports FBX files in FBX 2012 Version by default.
• However, when you load the data from 3DXchange, you must utilize the FBX 2012 Version or above to prevent data loss issues.
