Michael, I send you a ZIP containing the 3dm file, the 3ds from Moi, a 3ds from Max, and 3 screenshots from Max.

I just pulled down the files and tested it myself, no problems here. (3ds max 9 32 bit)
What happens if you scale up the model by 2000% and then zoom extent all again? Maybe it's a near-camera clipping thing...

Is there possibly some kind of clipping plane set up on those views which is causing it not to draw there?

I took a look in the .3ds file structure, and I can't really see anything that should cause this to happen within the file itself, and that .3ds file seems to load normally into Rhino and Cinema4D...

Maybe I will be able to try and download the demo version of 3ds max tomorrow to test it some more.

I did that, no change. However, what I just found out is that pressing middle mouse button and drag (that is the pan command) makes the objects appear. After that, I changed the views from Wireframe to Smooth&Highlights and now the objects are visible.
Well, I still think there is a problem, I will do some more tests

Can anyone confirm the problems with 3ds from MoI? I don't see my 3ds import to MAX8 in wireframe mode.
