https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/gsm-convertion-from-3ds/m-p/41088#M3647 Yes, I have checked the files in Sketchup 5. Also, I have send the 3ds files to my ArchiCad dealer, and he had no problem converting them to gsm, but he didn't know anything about my error. I have also send a bug-report to Graphisoft and I'm still waiting.<BR /> It was no problem at beginning, after installing the 3ds add-on. Something happened after that, I don't know what.<BR /> Thank you anyway.

Have you used this 3ds file elsewhere? Was it OK?

I felt the files must be checked before conversion.<BR /> Graphisoft is steel silent.<BR /> I'll keep you informed.<BR /> Thanks.
