Hi,
I’ve used the TSTools Max to UE4 FBX Exporter a fair bit in the past, and still use it to export multiple FBX meshes from Max to Unreal, however with this being a legacy script and no longer developed, one of it’s features no longer works.
That is the “Copy selected objects names and transforms to clipboard” option. What this did in UE4 was to place a cube static mesh at the exact co-ordinates of the cresponding object from Max. You could then replace the box mesh with your imported mesh, and all of your imported FBX objects are now in the correct location exactly as they were in Max, without having to manually reposition everything in UE.
The issue is this command no longer works. The command the script in Max spits out is like this for example:
Begin Map
Begin Level
Begin Actor Class=StaticMeshActor Name=01_Strctural_Walls Archetype=StaticMeshActor’/Script/Engine.Default__StaticMeshActor’
Begin Object Class=StaticMeshComponent Name=StaticMeshComponent0 ObjName=StaticMeshComponent0 Archetype=StaticMeshComponent’/Script/Engine.Default__StaticMeshActor:StaticMeshComponent0’
End Object
Begin Object Name=StaticMeshComponent0
StaticMesh=StaticMesh’/Engine/EditorMeshes/EditorCube.EditorCube’
RelativeLocation=(X=-798.752,Y=281.394,Z=0.0)
RelativeScale3D=(X=1.0,Y=1.0,Z=1.0)
RelativeRotation=(Pitch=0.0,Yaw=0.0,Roll=0.0)
CustomProperties
End Object
StaticMeshComponent=StaticMeshComponent0
Components(0)=StaticMeshComponent0
RootComponent=StaticMeshComponent0
ActorLabel=“01_Strctural_Walls”
End Actor
End Level
Begin Surface
End Surface
End Map
When posted into UE4 it creates the meshes as I described. When pasted into the UE5 editor, it crashes the editor and gives this error:

If someone can help me figure out the problem so I can manually fix the script that would be really awesome.
