Unable to import .3DS

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I've been working on a google sketchup model (since it's faster than ArchiCAD) but I now want to work on the model in ArchiCAD.

I've installed the .3DS add-on from the ArchiCAD goodies but when I go to design extras the add-on isn't listed. Also if I try opening it (File>Open) it says that it cannot be opened in this dialog.

How do I open the 3DS file in the standard ArchiCAD floor plan to work on it like a .pln file?

Thank You

I'm using ArchiCAd 14 on Mac OS 10.6.4 (latest)

Marc,
As a Mac guru I am embarrassed to say that I had never realized you could search menus that way. That needs to go permanently into tips and tricks.

And as far as I know, it's across ALL applications! Works great in Photoshop for getting to tools a lot quicker!
