Confused on how to import a full scene

I have been working in Toon Boom Harmony for the past year, and have come to the point where I absolutely need a compositor. I have gotten started with Fusion, and am currently attempting to re-adjust my workflow to include Fusion. I have watched videos on importing and compositing with Fusion, but I still have one very important unanswered question..

Is it possible at all to somehow export an image sequence from Toon Boom that exports all images outside of the camera view? I don't see how I'm supposed to export my entire scene into Fusion if that's not possible, because if all exports/imports are based only on what's in the camera view, how would I export really large buildings, or the ground and the roads and sidewalks?

I didn't know whether to ask this in the Toon Boom or Fusion forum, so I've asked this on both forums.

Meshes, animations, and textures are easy to export/import. Materials will be a bit harder. How important is that?

For the meshes and animation, try exporting Alembic, and see if that "just works".

You might check out this section of Toon Boon's documentation to see if the "Raw Game Data Export" module would give you access to the content you need without being clipped to the camera view:

Also if you look at the Exporting Sprite Sheets > How to export sprite sheets section of Toon Boom's docs that could help you:
