Import FBX/DEA/DWG to 3DsMax get stuck

[Tsiki]

I have ~ 50MB .skp Sketchup8 file.

I need to import this model to MAX 2010.

 

Export to .3ds fails (reports somthing about Temp directory size, which I have plenty).

I tried export to

- FBX (1,500 MB)

- DEA (53 MB)

- DWG (58 MB)

None of those exported file types completes import action.

Any type I'm using cause my MAX to freeze.

 

Any idea why it's happening?

Which different way I should use for export skp so I'll be able to import in MAX?

Thanks.

Inside link to the connection_extension tool is broken.

I'll look for it elsewhere.

 

Update:

I have it installed and it works like rocket.

 

Thank you very much

Without using that, have you tried selecting the IMPORT BY LAYER option? when the by ENTITIES is selected it takes more time to import since there will be many indinvidual objects...
