FBX Morph Targets Missing on Import — Mesh Imported as Subgroup After Latest Update
Imported FBX file from Zbrush that has been embedded with morphs/layers do not appear, because the mesh(Jean_Shorts) is imported as a subgroup. Not sure what you did in the last update, but please fix it. It's getting very difficult to function with your products.

Can't give you my project but i can describe the steps to you. 
1. In Zbrush, with a mesh in edit mode, create a layer and deform the mesh with move tool or whatever, but don't change the topology. 
2. Next, export it using FBX export/import plugin. with "layers" option selected and OpenGL
3. Bring the exported mesh into CC. It will then ask you the usual 60 fps stuff bla bla. Keep original, press ok.
4. It brings the mesh in as subgroup instead of a mesh on it's own like i showed in the Screenshot, so it's impossible to "Activate" the layer/morph that was created in Zbrush.

Hi Sunlikevoid,

Thank you for the clear steps. I was able to reproduce the issue you mentioned. Currently, CC does not support prop morphs, and this is not related to the structure of the scene. However, you can import the FBX into iClone and use the Morph Animator feature to see the ZB morph data, then set keys to create the animation (see attached images).

Hi Sunlikevoid,

I'm sorry, but I can't reproduce your issue. Could you please provide your project and the FBX file you exported, and then describe the steps you took to import the FBX into CC? This will help us clarify the issue more quickly. Thank you!
