Building and Running the Sample Programs

Each sample demonstrates an FBX SDK feature. The sample code contains comments that explain the feature.

Windows

To build and run a sample using Visual Studio:

  1. Start Visual Studio.
  2. Click File Open Project/Solution.
  3. Navigate to the folder that contains the sample program for your version of Visual Studio, for example, C:\Program Files\Autodesk\FBX\FBX SDK\<version>\samples\UI Examples\ImportExport\.
  4. Open the project file for your version of Visual Studio. Visual Studio will create a new solution, and open the project inside that solution.
  5. To build the file, click Build Build Solution. Unless you modify the project, Visual Studio builds a debug version of the application (ImportExport.exe), stored in the project’s Debug\ directory.
  6. To run the sample within Visual Studio, choose Start Debugging from the Debug menu. If you run ImportExport, the dialog for ImportExport appears. You can use it to select files for conversion to various file formats.
