Archicad Export to3d Studio Max by materials

[Anonymous]

I modeled my building and put it on the materias name to later identify in Max. But when I imported the 3ds by material in Max it says Improper file format..
I tried dwg, 3ds, but none of them came separate by material... they grouped together in layers Wall, Slab... I need to substitute the materials that already have in my model...
Is there a way to do this?

in the dwg translator setup there`s no options to set them by material...

Use these settings to save your 3D (from the 3D window) and you should be able to open your file and change materials. We use it here all the time.
