FBX Export not available

Hello everyone,

I'm running 3D Paint 3.1708.14027.0.

It's my first time of using Paint 3D. I want to bring a fbx 3D-model into the hololens.

When I try to export there is only the .glb and .3mf option available.

I saw some 3D Paint tutorial on youtube - the fbx option was available.

Is my 3D Paint version too "new" and the fbx support is gone? Or is my computer not supported?

Thanks for your help!!

Cheers

Nils

 

Paint 3D cannot open STL files

Please update Paint 3D to be able to open STL files. View 3D *can* open them just fine.

When I open them in View 3D, and click the "Paint 3D" button, it gives this error message:

"We couldn't open Paint 3D. Wait a bit, then try again."

I did, and it keeps failing. So then, I manually go to Paint 3D, and open the file from there. In order to do that, I have to enter "*.*" as the filename, otherwise it won't pop up. The file types dropdown doesn't list STL files. But that's for good reason,
apparently, because Paint 3D says:

"Paint 3D can't read this file. It may be invalid, or in a format that we don't currently support."

So, recap:

1) The file is completely valid, because View 3D can open it just fine

2) Why can Paint 3D not open a file, while View 3D can?

3) Please add this functionality to paint 3D. It's an industry standard file type for 3D models.

This is on Windows 10.0.15063.
