## FBXImport

### Introduced

v6.02

### Description

Imports an FBX file. You can customize what information to import by running any of the FBXImport* commands before running this command. The available FBXImport* commands are listed in the See Also section on this page. To set options that don't have assciated FBXExport* command you can use FBXImport "option" to create the import options property page and use SetValue to modify it.
Note: The FBXImport* commands are the scripting equivalent of setting the same values for importing FBX files through the UI (FBX Importer dialog) with the exception of the FBXImportNamespaceReplacement command.

### Scripting Syntax

    oBoolean = FBXImport( FilePathName, [TakeNb] );

### Return Value

Boolean value indicating whether command succeeded or failed.

### Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
FilePathName | String | Full path and filename of FBX file to import. Default Value: If not specified, a file browser pops up to pick the file to import.
TakeNb | Long | Number of the take to be imported. Specifying TakeID "0" is the equivalent of specifying No Animation - it loads the last take in the file. Any number greater than or equal to the number of takes in the file does not load the animation. Default Value: -1

### Examples

#### 1. JScript Example

    /*
            This example demonstrates how to import a specific animation
            take from an FBX file.
    */
    var fbxfile = "C:\\temp\\testing.fbx";
    var fso = new ActiveXObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" );
    if ( fso.FileExists(fbxfile) ) {
            // First make sure the FBX Import settings are set to take animation
            FBXImportAnimation( true );
            // Then specify take 1 while importing
            FBXImport( fbxfile, 1 );
    } else {
            Application.LogMessage( "Couldn't find " + fbxfile, siWarning );
    }

#### 2. VBScript Example

    '
    ' This example demonstrates how to import an FBX file without
    ' cameras or lights
    '
    dim fbxfile
    fbxfile = "C:\temp\testing.fbx"
    set fso = CreateObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" )
    if fso.FileExists(fbxfile) then
            ' First make sure the FBX Import settings are set to skip cameras & lights
            FBXImportCameras False
            FBXImportLights False

            ' Now do the import
            FBXImport fbxfile
    else
            Application.LogMessage "Couldn't find " & fbxfile, siWarning
    end if
