    I used a dog model for Generic Rig Animation.I set Bip01 for root node. 1.png
    And the "Root Motion Node" of animation also Bip01

    the dog is fall over,it's look like Z axis rotated by 90.i don't konw why?
    In game playing,the dog need "Apply Node Motion" to climb a stage.
    So how can i fixed the "fall over" dog to foot stand like in 3dMax.

    Try putting your dog character (with the animation) in an empty game object.

    parent root bone in max to a dummy.
    reorient the dummy in max correctly so it is correct in Unity.
    animate translation of dummy same as root bone was animated.
    export back into Unity.
    For future projects - test export into Unity at every development stage (modeling, rigging, skinning, 1st test animation) to confirm orientation is correct.

    This might work also - if you don't need root motion rotation. :)
