Simple to describe, maybe not simple to fix.

I have a cube exported from Cheetah 3D 7.2, in fbx 7.5.0 format, with embedded jpg texture.

When I try to import it into CopperCube 6.0.1, using the static 3d mesh option,I get the following message:

Any thoughts on how to solve this problem please?

The file imports into Sketchfab successfully https://skfb.ly/6B6Bp

I was going to suggest using Ultimate Unwrap 3D Pro to re-save the FBX using a newer exporter (there are many, but 2015 seems to work best), but I believe it's PC only.

You will likely need a newer exporter for FBX on the Mac.

Also, direct x and b3d (Blitz Basic 3D) work amazingly well for importing static and animated meshes.

Well. I am not able to see the image you posted.. As @karmacomposer has said... Try using a newer fbx format...
I would recommend yoy to use autodesk fbx converter.... Coppercube may not support fbx versions older than 2010... So you may be required to convert your models into latest versions...

Version 7.5.0 appears to be the most recent version, so it's difficult to try a newer one.

Then try converting it to a 2013 or 2015 version using autodesk fbx converter or any other exporter as mentioned by @Karmacomposer

I've downloaded several fbx files from free repositories all of which have the same message. Am I mistaken in thinking that the macOS version of CopperCube can load fbx files?

Yes, as written in the changelog, the macos version only loads older, and only non-animated fbx files, sorry

Why is that? I don't know why that would be limited to the Windows version.

Wow. Glad I don't use Macs.
