This might be a ignorant question...but does you 3D max file have a .max extension or .3ds? ArchiCAD will only import the .3ds file.

They do.

And the Cinema4D-tutorial is mostly usable for max as well:

You can't generate a *.max file from ArchiCAD, but *.3ds files can be read just fine and with texture mapping intact.

Also check out the website of Marc Lorenz:

for the ArchiCAD import wizard.
