Import native 3D s max file (.max) to Sketchup

[onzki]

Hi, I've been searching for a long time for this but I can't find a plugin to import native .max to Sketchup. Just like the free .dwg importer bundled in Sketchup 8 Pro that works without a glitch. Can you help me find a plug in, even if it's a bit pricey, as long as it works well I'll get it.

(.3DS not working)
The problem is when my client provide us with a .3ds format- most Sketchup from different PC that I tried, all crashed from the start. That's why I'm hoping that if it's native .max, maybe it'll work.

Thanks a lot!

is the pro version .3ds import not working? maybe post a file which is failing?

The .3ds format can be imported also with the free version of SU. The .max extension, as far as I know, can only be opened with 3dstudio max.
