Issues importing Alembic files and maintaining UVs

[lina.vysnia]

Hello! I'm using max 2023 where I'm trying to import an alembic file with UVs from Houdini. Using file > import >import does not bring any geometry, an object appears in the outliner, however, nothing appears in the scene. I'm attaching a screenshot of my import settings.

However, using a Vray proxy to bring in the file, loads the geometry, but the UVs are all messed up. I'm attaching another screenshot where 1. is the mesh imported through Vray proxy and 2. is just a still obj

I can't attach an .abc file, unfortunately, Blender did import it with UVs and no issues.

What could be a solution here to have an alembic file with UVs in Max?

For any future souls that stumble upon this, when importing the .abc file, the box Extra Channels has to be unticked. Everything got imported, even the UV channels.
