When importing FBX ,it turns into Pieces why?

Hello , how are you
i just wanted to ask and understand , when i import any fbx , i got it as many many parts and i even can’y move them normaly , because the single part is very far away from the navigation arrows . why ? and how i deal with that ?

Thank you

Hi ,

I think the problem is that when you import the mesh, you don’t check “Combine Meshes” and that’s why your mesh gets imported as separate pieces. Try reimporting again, but this time, when the import menu appears, click on the arrow of Mesh category to show advanced options and check “Combine Meshes” option.

If you combine these meshes, the issue with the navigation arrows should get fixed. Though, in general, the reason that navigation arrows appear far from your mesh is that the mesh’ pivot is originally off. To fix the pivot you have to use another 3D software such as Maya, 3ds Max, or Blender to put it somewhere appropriate.

Hope this helps.
