fbxexport missing textures

[balazs_istvan]

I give up on life. After reinstalling civil3d 2018 on two different machines, downloading, installing medium material libraries and base libraries, still no succes on fbxexport. No textures created, no materials applied. If i open the dwg, it shows all textures, all materials. But all fbx files are gray. I cannot even imagine, what should i do.

- When i choose to embed textures: gray fbx files.

- When i choose to copy materials to location: nothing gets copied there.

Is it possible, that fbximport fails to look for materials in the right folders? does anyone know, where it supposed to look by default? I have hungarian localization, is it possible, that localized version of autocad is corrupted?

My materials are stored under:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\Materials

The textures are located under:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\Materials\Textures

Below is a sample file attached. The second one is a simple blue box.

My older fbx files, that were working some time ago, lost their textures also. Now they also show up blank. No idea, when and why things went south.

Hi @balazs_istvan

I quickly loaded your FBX file into Navisworks and Civil 3D 2018, they show up as this:

 

Can you confirm that this is the expected result?

Hi!

Thanks for your help. That is the expected result! But on my machine, neither FBX review, nor Infraworks, nor 3DS max were able to load the fbx properly. Now i have even less idea, what i am missing. Could you please try to open it with fbx

review for me?

Hi @balazs_istvan

Design Review does not display textures for me. It could be that it still uses an old SDK.

I have exported an FBX 2014 from Navisworks, can you try it on your system, see attachment.
