Export Shape Lab 3D Models, and Import to Horizon World

Hello everyone is there anyone here with experience, importing 3D models into the Horizon desktop editor that can help me out.   Even if you could give me written instructions. I did ask AI in the instructions it gave me didn't work.   

I'm trying to import 3D models that I created in Shape Lab Lite into Horizon.   I'm exporting from Shape Lab Lite as FBX, with  external PNG Texture files.  I've made sure they're below the 50 MB but they still are not importing into the desktop editor.   I don't know if I'm not applying something in Shape Lab that I should be, or if I'm doing something wrong in the editor.   Is their anyone that could please help me.  Thanks in advance

    When the import fails, the Desktop Editor shows a red icon next to the asset. If you click on it, it should give you details of what the problem is. Can you share that error message here please?

    Never used Shape Lab, I export from 3ds Max, I had to turn off Turbosmooth in the export options. Also when importing I must custom name the material to something like. "Material #25_BR.png"

    It wont import without it.

    Import the model alone and read the error it generates.

      I don’t get this error anymore. It will upload my mesh without a texture. This feature was helpful so that I know how to properly name the files.
