When importing an FBX file in an Action schematic, setting the FBX Import Type to the option Link to Original File does not create a Geom node as the option Create Local Copy does, but rather creates an FBX Scene node.
You cannot perform the same operations on an FBX Scene node as on a Geom node.
- You can only parent Axis nodes.
- You cannot parent it to other nodes.
- You cannot select individual components; you always select the entire scene.
- There is only one node in the Priority Editor for the whole scene.
If the linked FBX file is updated, click Refresh in the FBX Scene menu to update the FBX Scene node in Action.
Note: If the linked FBX file is moved or changes its file name, the FBX File Path field turns red to indicate that the original file cannot be found, and the geometry in your scene is replaced with a "Missing FBX" text. In this case, click the FBX File Path field to open the browser and locate the moved or renamed FBX file.
