Importing geometry into thino from 3ds

[michaelfountouklis]

Hello,

 

I am trying to import designed geometry (mesh) from 3D studio max (2012) to rhino. I am exporting selected from max in .3ds and importing that into rhino 4.0

 

The problem is that the parts of the model, lets say a sofa for instance are all shifted. The arms of the sofa are in a different XYZ coordinates than the originals and i have to adjust them by hand. I tried with different units (inches, meters etc) but that doesn't affect anything.

 

Does anyone know how why this is done, and how i can fix it?

 

Thanks a lot in advance,

 

Michael
