Vertex coordinates of mesh imported from Blender as fbx are all equal to 0,0,0?

Edit: When I use FBX ASCII export and set Normals == None in Unity's import settings it allows me to access the vertices as expected, I have no idea why this works though..

I was trying to figure out what was wrong with altering the vertices of my model and found that printing the vertices of a model imported from blender resulted in every vertex being == (0, 0, 0). Using the same script to print the vertices of a Unity created Cube worked as intended.

         GameObject go_body = GameObject.Find("tiger_body");
         Mesh mesh_body = go_body.GetComponent<MeshFilter>().mesh;
         Vector3[] body_verts = mesh_body.vertices;
         for (int i = 0; i < body_verts.Length; i++){
             print(body_verts[i]);
         }

Does anyone have any insight into why the blender model is different? I additionally don't understand how the game engine can render it in the correct place when all of the mesh's vertices are equal to (0, 0, 0)?

Thanks in advance! alt text

I tried exporting it in ASCII instead of binary and the vertices exist as expected in the fbx file, why is Unity not recalling them properly with mesh.vertices;?

Additionally, when I export using .OBJ the vertices work as expected as well.
