Importing DWG from 3ds MAx so that all sides are visible

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to import a DWG file to Archicad, which was saved in 3ds Max, but each time I'm doing this I'm able to see only top view of my scene, no matter in what window I'm trynig to export my scene in 3ds Max from (top, or right).
Somehow, some solids (shapes) are not visible at all.

Is this generally possible?
I don't have only lines in my 3ds MAX scene, but also some 3d solids, so maybe Archicad somehow cannot recognize them?
When I open this dwg file in Autocad, everything is visible, including 3d.

any clues?

thanks!

Try to import the DWG in Archicad's 3D Window instead of 2D.

You need to create an object from the *.dwg file, you cannot xref of directly open the *.dwg file
