The FBX Exporter in CE U13 doesn't work as expected.
It exports at a smaller scale compared to V8i.
In the image below, the same file was exported from V8i and U13.
The small one is U13 and the large one is V8i
We use Lumion for rendering, and in it's current state, CE U13 is not an option we an consider.

Please provide the full versions of both V8i and CONNECT and file if possible for others to review.
In addition please confirm that the FBX Export Settings in both instances are the same.

I created FBX files from the following versions
AECOsim v8i - 08.11.09.866
OBD CE U6 - 10.06.03.04
Microstation CE U13 - 10.13.01.01
The AECOsim v8i FBX export was at the correct scale, while both OBD CE and Microstation CE exports were at the smaller scale.
This is the AECOsim setting
And this is the CONNECT settings
If I change the CONNECT settings from Active Units to Meters, the FBX files comes out at the right scale.
And this is what I get in LUMION.
The small ones in the foreground are the CONNECT versions.
The large ones in the background are the correct size. The left one is the v8i version and the right one is the CONNECT version set to Meters.
I have attached the dgn file.

Thank you for posting the file and further details.
The introduction of the selectable Units was introduced in MicroStation CONNECT edition Update 11 as a result of user requests ( Enhancement 918458 ) -
This can be found in the What's New section in the help along with FBX Export Settings
I can confirm this behavior.
Was working fine in U11 and 12, in U13, models in mm are scaled x0.001. If meters is selected then the model scales correctly, but is in different units.
