Hi,
Minimum resolution: 1920 x 1200 (widescreen).

so if you are on a Laptop you need an external monitor.

This came up before in another thread. A work around is to reduce the ui scale, try setting it to compact and see if that helps. Another option is to use the fbximport command from the textport.

Depending on your use case, Agent SOP can also help. It can import an FBX file directly.

NECRO BUMP!

Just experienced this issue. I do have an external monitor, but that is also 1080P. So what I did was instead of extending the monitors left to right, I extended my second monitor BELOW my primary monitor! So now the import button appears at the top of my second monitor.

HTHs!

This is an old issue, but it still happens with this and many other windows. The way I get around it is by grabbing a part of the visible window which let's me resize it and adjust it a tiny bit, then when I let go, the program moves the window to make it fit in screen.
