    Hello, is there any particular reason why importing custom attributes of type Vector is not supported in Unity? Docs are stating that you can import custom animated properties: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/HOWTO-ImportObjectsFrom3DApps.html

    It would be great to support importing of vector as a custom attribute as well as float and integers (which do work). In my rigs I have to split my vectors into 4 floats, which works but takes a lot of extra time just to be able to export a vector. Imagine a rig with 5-10 of these custom attributes, what a nightmare to setup just to be able to import it in Unity.

    On closer inspection it seems that Unity does not support Integer types either, i have to use floats for now. If you are not going to add full support at least consider adding a note in the Docs on which types are not supported.
