Convert Options window

Use the Convert Options window to convert a GameObject, or a Prefab asset, to an FBX Prefab Variant. It displays options for specifying what gets exported through the conversion process.

Convert Options for an FBX Prefab Variant

Naming

Property Function
Export Name The name of the FBX file to export.
Export Path The location where the FBX Exporter saves the converted FBX file.
Prefab Name The name of the FBX Prefab Variant's file.
Prefab Path The location where the FBX Exporter saves the FBX Prefab Variant file.

Transfer Animation

[!INCLUDE transfer-animation]

Options

Property Function
Export Format Select the format for the FBX Exporter to use when exporting the FBX file (ASCII or binary).
Include Convert to FBX Prefab Variant always exports both Models and Animation in the hierarchy.
LOD level Convert to FBX Prefab Variant always exports All levels of detail (LOD) available in the hierarchy for LOD groups.
Object(s) Position Convert to FBX Prefab Variant always resets the root object's transform during export. However, the Prefab maintains the global transform for the root object.
Animated Skinned Mesh Enable this option to export animation on GameObjects with skinned meshes.

If you disable this option, the FBX Exporter does not export animation on skinned meshes.
Compatible Naming Enable this option to make the FBX Exporter rename GameObjects and Materials on conversion, according to specific character replacement rules.

This ensures a compatible naming with Autodesk® Maya® and Autodesk® Maya LT™ to avoid unexpected name changes between Unity and these software.
Don't ask me again Enable this option to use the same Convert Options properties and hide this window when converting to FBX Prefab Variants in the future. You can reset this option by turning on the Display Options Window option under Edit > Project Settings > Fbx Export in Unity's top menu.

Note

For FBX Model filenames, the FBX Exporter ensures that names do not contain invalid characters for the file system. The set of invalid characters might differ between file systems.

Default property values

If you set a Default Preset in the Preset Manager, the FBX Exporter automatically uses the values of this Preset as default property values. Otherwise, the FBX Exporter falls back to the values defined in FBX Export Project Settings.

However, if you modify the settings in the Convert Options window during a conversion, the FBX Exporter preserves them as long as you keep the Unity Editor session open.
