Hi im a noob how do import .3ds with working textures?

[paperjon]

Hi i am paperjon,
I`m part of a papercraft team called cutscorefoldandglue . Half the team use sketchup to edit models ready for papercraft, they have problems importing models exported from blender which is what i use currently. So recently i have started to use sketchup and have used it to create some simple models for this it is great. The problem comes when i try to import anything thats come from blender in any format. The files i try work in other apps like pepakura(the program we use for unfolding the models to 2d templates), milkshape etc just not with sketchup textures dont load or vertices will be missing etc. As i said im a noob but no-one on our team can figure this out either please help
