Steps to reproduce:
1) In Modo, load the attached project.

2) Create the FBX settings in the Preferences menu as follows:

3) Close the Preferences, then select the mesh item for Top_Square.

4) Right-click the item and select Export Selected layers.

5) Choose format settings for Autodesk FBX 2015, then click OK.

6) Select a directory and save the file, observing the file size.

7) Repeat steps 4-6 until a different file size is created.

8) Open the file in Modo and observe the available mesh items.


Expected behavior:
The export should complete with full mesh information.


Actual behavior:
Mesh items were missing after exporting using the Autodesk FBX 2015 option.
