The FBX_Import_Options map shows some of the options that can be set when importing an FBX asset into Unreal Engine 4.
When importing a Static Mesh , Skeletal Mesh , or Animation asset in FBX format, you will be presented with the Import Options dialogue box as seen below.
Depending on the type of asset being imported, additional options will become available such as importing an asset along with its materials/textures, LOD options as well as animation and morph target options.
You can find additional resources for each example by clicking on the example's name.

An asset which has a cube as its base LOD (level of detail) and a sphere set as LOD1 where the asset changes between the two based on distance to it. |
|
|
A cube with one smoothing group and custom vertex normals is imported twice, once using the option to Calculate Normals and the other using the Import Normals option. |
