Not readable 3dm files

 From:  JTB
890.1 
Maybe this has been discussed before, but I would like to know if there are any limitations when MoI reads 3dm files.
Here are two files that I have received from a friend, I told him that since there was no MAX format I can read 3dm too, but it seems I can't
Any help and ideas?
