Bug description:

In the Blender exporter 4.3.3 using Blender 3.6.22. If you have a child collection (for LOD purposes) And set up three presets - xxx_LOD00 and xxx_LOD01 and xxx_LOD02

You then have interior collection and then you have a child collection to that of interior_small_items.

LOD00 is interior plus interior_small_items
LOD01 is just interior
LOD02 is just interior

You can’t just select interior when you have a child collection. If you select the parent the child is also selected.
You must separate out all collections to one level - this is annoying when you want to keep you work space uncluttered.

EDIT: 3.3.2 was working for me with child collections.

Hello @DA40CGDFQ ,

This is by design to match the multi-exporter we have in 3dsmax. If you don’t want a child collection to be checked it means that this collection should not be a child. We want to follow a tree logic.

Thank you
