I’m actually having the exact same problem in 4.16.3. An answer would be greatly appreciated! ---

I think I figured it out, make sure when exporting to FBX that _animation is turned on_, skinning will not export otherwise. Also, make sure you are using and exporting Z-up in Maya, if not the kinematic rag-doll will act weird in unreal. ---

Guys I fix it that way - Change export units in apex exporting options, I was exporting in metric and have the same issue, when i change for centimetric (i have in UE centrimetric units) everything was fine! TRY IT! ---

I have the same problem although in my model one part of it works perfectly with cloth and I’m unable to create clothing data for another one (the same model only different material). Have no idea why. Any further suggestion from someone? Edit: Forgot to mention that I didn’t upload any external .apx, only working with Unreal cloth tools. ---

Found answer under another, similar question, hope it can help someone: > **[Unable to apply cloth from imported file](https://forums.unrealengine.com/questions/688091/unable-to-apply-cloth-from-imported-file.html)** > > I found the answer. The problem was that one of the places on my mesh had two overlapping triangles, so I just had to go into Blender and “Remove Doubles” on every single submesh. This still didn’t fix the physics problem.
