      I've created a model and grouped it. I select export >3D model>3DS and go to options. When I click on the options button it won't go to an options screen so I can customize my export. Any suggestions on how to make this work would be greatly appreciated!

        Is this on a PC (Vista or XP) or on a Mac? I have not heard this twist on 3ds exporting issues before.

        Can you export to other filetypes correctly? How about .dae or .obj?

          Its on an Intel Mac. The model is a simple box that is grouped. I can export to other formats. Its just the 3DS which is weird! Thanks Chris

            Hopefully someone who uses a Mac will chime in with a more definite answer, but you can also try "trashing the plist" or p.list or something like that. I hope that makes sense to you. Its just a default answer I've seen given many times when the 3ds exporter has acted up on other people's Macs. Try it and let me know if it works,

              Chris...not sure what a plist or p.list is so I'll have to go searching for it. Thanks

                I see it is actually a .plist 😄

                  ok, sorry for the double post. Here is some more info:

                  Lee Anderson said:
                  "I had the same problem and fixed it by removing the SketchUp preferences file named com.AtLast.SketchUp.plist, best found with Spotlight. The file will be rebuilt the next time that you run SketchUp, though some preferences will be lost."

                  "The path of the OS X file (the .plist) is Users/Username/Library/Preferences, where Username represents your user name."

                  Hope that helps?
