1.7 FBX importer LOD rule not working properly

@REDACTEDUSER

Thanks for the screenshots, it really helps speed things along! I think I see the problem. Correct me if I am wrong.

Your asset has 3 LODs right?

It is not very clear in the FBX importer, but imagine that your Mesh Group / Group Name is your high LOD. This is the geometry that you would see if you did not have any LODs. So, your _lod0_Box is already in place.

Next, only add two LODs: [0] and [1]

Set [0] to be your _lod1_Sphere

Set[1] to be your _lod2_Teapot

Also, uncheck RootNode, that wont be necessary for it to work. Additionally, I'd like to mention that the naming convention I used is not necessary for this to work with the FBX Importer. But, it is a convention when using the Maya exporter and so I continue to use it for the sake of consistency.

More details!

With the asset that I provided you, here are the steps I used to get it to work correctly:

• Clearly name assets for export in DCC (For the FBX Importer these names can be anything, but it is best to be very clear):
  • _lod0_filename
  • _lod1_filename
  • _lod2_filename
• Export scene from DCC to FBX
• Open LY go to View / Open View Pane / FBX Importer (Preview)
  • Open FBX file
  • Under Mesh Group / Select meshes: All of the meshes are selected by default.
    • Select the hierarchy icon on the right and choose only 1 mesh: _lod0_sphere
  • Click on Add Rule and and choose Level of Detail
  • Click the + icon on the right twice to add two LODs
  • Click on the hierarchy icon on the right for [0] and choose only 1 mesh: _lod1_cube
  • Click on the hierarchy icon on the right for [1] and choose only 1 mesh: _lod2_cylinder
  • Click on Update in the main window and you are all set!
