Hi JTB, thanks for attaching those reports! I have found the problem in the .3ds export - can you please try the attached .3ds file and see if it can be read into Max now?

For the .obj problem - is it possible for you to narrow the file down to a smaller sample that does not come through to max properly (ideally a single surface or smaller portion of the model).

If I have a narrowed down example for that it will make it easier for me to examine the .obj file to see if there is anything wrong with it. It is possible that this is a problem in Max's .obj reader though.
