Importing 3DS into archicad 15

[Anonymous]

I have a 3d model in 3ds format. it was originally created in Sketchup.
When i open it in other 3d programs like cinema, i can select the individual parts but when i import the model into archicad, archicad automatically converts it to a single OBJECT solid.

How can I import this into archicad and be able to select and control the diferent 3d blocks ???

Thanks.

this part is just a bloody joke ????
why do they have this crap on their site ?


Through its add-on, this mature and globally popular solution ensures a seamless data transfer from concept surfaces and colors into intelligent architectural objects and materials. In Archicad the user will find walls, slabs and other intelligent elements, just the way they had been created in SketchUp from the outset

this is also explained in my above edited post ...
