I am aware of the issue importing newer sketchup (after 2008) files into 3DS but now I have a model where saving it down to Sketchup 2008 or earlier does not do the trick (same "x32 reader terminated unexpectedly" error on import, regardless of what version of Sketchup I save to).
The only thing I can think of that is different with this file is that it originated in Revit 2015 and was exported to DWG in order to bring it into Sketchup Pro 2014. I've double checked simple masses exported from Revit > Sketchup > 3DS and have had no problem. I've purged the sketchup file and no luck.
Any ideas on what else could be causing the import error message?
Hello. I have no idea on this without testing it. What might be better is to log this with our development team at the following site:
http://download.autodesk.com/us/support/report_a_bug.html?SelProduct=3dsMax
Please be sure that you are as specific as possible and provide development with files to test. Once you have logged it please post back here the case number you are given so I can track it internally.
Thank you.

Did you try importing the file after applying my Sketchup 2014 fix ?

Thanks Spacefrog. I was out of the office last week but I tried swapping out those DLL's in my copy of 3DS max Design 2014 (as well as in 2015) and it didn't change anything. Again, some revit models exported to DWG that were then saved down to Sketchup 8 import just fine and some don't.
The real trick is going to be figuring out what is different about the models that fail v. those that work. I do know its not a size or complexity thing (some small models fail whereas some large ones succeed) and I know its not a Revit template issue (they all started with our office standard template).
It's really weird. For the time being I am just working around it but I'd love to figure it out as there are times when you need sketchup's speed to add detail for a good rendering.
The scale is correct on all Sketchup files. The origin is around 1100 feet from the furthest point in both problem models (and less than a thousand in the ones that work). So I tried deleting unneeded geometry and moving one of the problem models closer to the origin and it still crashes on import.
Oh, and the same issue happens with DXF files I've exported from these problem Revit models and saved in Sketchup. I've tried copying and pasting the Revit models into fresh files too. No luck.
OK, deleted all but the building itself in ACAD, moved directly on top of origin, purged and saved and checked extents. Imported into Sketchup and saved as SU8 file. Still crashes with the "reader x32 terminated" error. I'm guessing distance from origin and fixing errors (auditing) is not the issue.
Back to square one...
Hi gunnargarness.
Just recieved a survey file where the map drawing was placed at z -9999.9990 (survey points had the correct hight). That just made me wonder. When you measured the distance from drawing origin to the point furthest away, did you then measure on the z axis?
I dont use Revit, so I dont know exactly how it deals with hight data, but I wondered if this could be caused by i.e. survey data as the one file I just recieved.
Regards
