Make sure you don't have any groups or symbols. Make sure every object is a 3d object and then aply a solid fill in vector works prior to export . Colour is not important as long as the object has a solid fill. Set units to meters.

I do all this when exporting dxf files to Lightwave and It works very well, it may work with 3dmax.

 

New Vectorworks 12.5 has a .3ds exporter, is that what you are using?.

 

DXF may be an alternative.

hello, thx for response. i use vectorworks 11,

 

jafs00 : did u mean dxf or dwg???

 

i try to export my modell to dxf ( i still use wall tools for wall object) and ussually this works when i opened it with c4d, but when i opened at 3dmax, many poligon is missing, wall is ok, but glass and many poligon is missing... guess i will try to use object to make a wall...

 

have any different idea for this???

 

many thx before
