Importing 3DS files into Archicad26

[onestoreyllc]

I'm trying to import 3DS files into AC26, I have the Goodies 26 installed but am not finding the 3d studio tab under Interoperability....help!

Just redid this years later. My steps:
Download Goodies https://graphisoft.com/us/downloads/goodies/
Without 3DS Max installed 3DStudio won’t show in the menu. The workaround is editing Work Environment’s Command Layout Schemes and placing the 3DStudio Menu on the menubar. The steps for that are:

Go to Options > Work Environment, Work Environment > Command Layout Schemes > Menus, then where it says Commands and Menus select All menus in alphabetical order. Then, move "3D Studio" to menubar and the 3D Studio will show in the menu bar!

Follow the steps in this Youtube Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6IXbd542Rc if anything is confusing

(ignore their note that 3ds Max is required).
