Error messages erased on Sceneform plugin convert fail #848

Sometimes FBX files get complicated and require some tweaking before they can be successfully converted via Sceneform plugin. In fact, the Sceneform plugin does a good job of displaying useful error messages about why the conversion failed in the build log in Android Studio UI.

The problem is that there is a modal dialog which pops up asking whether to keep or revert the changes to build.gradle for the failed conversion. Not only does this modal dialog prevent copying the error message from the build log, also when the "Revert" button on the modal dialog is clicked, both the "Build" and "Sync" tabs in Android Studio build log UI are cleared. So the useful error messages are no longer available to copy and send to the artist etc.

Please have a look at persisting the sceneForm plugin error messages even after reverting changes to the build.gradle file, thank you

I tried several not complex stop sign models from the poly site and when I try to convert the obj to sfa / sfb Android Studio crashes. I'm filing an issue: https://github.com/google-ar/sceneform-android-sdk/issues/866
