Hi Brendan,
I'm using LightTracer 2.5 (registered) on an M1 MBP. I've had great results using both STEP and obj formats.
.3dm does not work for me either.
I don't know if it goes for Light tracer, but in some render apps, if all objects are imported as 1 object, it is because the objects are all "unnamed". naming them imports them as separate objects.
