Hellow to all that are reading this. Today I'm posting how to convert Sketch-Up models into 3Ds Max.
1. Save the Sketch-Up file you wish to convert for a backup file.
2. Go to in Sketch-Up ->File->Export.
3. Export the file as a .3ds file.
4. Open up 3Ds Max now and go to ->File->Import. Now choose in the dropdown bar choose the first .3ds file type you see.
5. Navigate to the file you exported from Sketch-Up, and open it.
6. Your exported file will be right in 3DS Max!
7. Now it gets difficult! Select every thing in your model and go to -Modifiers->(I think) Mesh Editing->Smoothing. Select Auto Smoothing, and Threashold.
8. Now go back to the Mesh Editing and select Vertex Weld.
9. Once added your model will look a little strange. So now make the Threshold of the Vertex Weld 0.01 or 0.1.
10. Now we have are self a model.
All get back with the rest of how you complete the prosses later.
New stuff added im the TCMG section.
