    Hey all,

    I am trying to automate a few steps of our fbx import process. I would like to be able to set up the Rig settings from script using a AssetPostprocessor and ModelImporter but i've hit a snag.

    I can set the Animation type to "Generic", but does anyone know a way I can automatically set the "Root Node" setting? I can't seem to find anything about it in the docs/forums. Is it simply not exposed?

    Cheers,
    Avalix

    Code (CSharp):
    1. ModelImporter importer = AssetImporter.GetAtPath("Asset/test.fbx") as ModelImporter;
    2. SerializedObject so = new SerializedObject(importer);
    3. so.FindProperty("m_HumanDescription.m_RootMotionBoneName").stringValue = "AlternateRootNode";
    4. so.ApplyModifiedProperties();
    5. importer.SaveAndReimport();
    Hint for this was found in source code available in UnityCsReference.
