FBX export not an option...

[jnk30]

I have been exporting selected models as .fbx for Unity, and all of a sudden that is not an option in the types of files menu.  Nothing has been deleted, and I had just exported and saved a file right before this problem started.  I am working in an Educational License of Maya 2014.  I saw on some posts that fbx is a plug-in, but I do not see where to download a plug-in for 2014.

Thank you for your help

Hello jkn30,

Thank you for posting on the forums.

There are two things I would recommend checking:

1) Be sure that the FBX plugin is loaded. You can do this by going to Window > Settings\Preferences > Plugin Manager. In the plugin manager window you should see FBX. Be sure that it is loaded you can also set it to Auto-load.

2) I would recommend defaulting your maya preferences. Sometimes these become corrupt and can cause problems. You can do this by using the steps outlined in the following link:

I hope this information is helpful.

Cheers,
