Sketchup import error

[Anonymous]

Hello,

When I try to import the sketchup file into max i get the error "X32 reader terminated unexpected" I have tried importing to 3ds max design 2013 and 2014 and used different sketchup versions and also files as simple as a box. everytime i get the same error, does anybody have an idea?

i did try by reducing the version to 8 as well. i think size is not an issue some components that are getting imported along are creating problem.

bcz i have already work with 3dmax with heavy files as well.

After some trial and error it became clear it wasn't any special characters that were to blame, it was merely the number of characters in the component name! The name above including spaces is 144 characters long and it turns out the 3ds Max SketchUp importer will only accept component names less than 128 characters in length. Stripping about 20 characters off the name results in a successful import!

So if you work for an AEC firm or you have Revit, SketchUp and 3ds Max in your pipeline take a look at the component names in SketchUp. Shortening up those names can make all the difference! 

this is base on http://christophergrant.com/blog/2017/3/14/eliminating-the-3ds-max-x32-error-when-importing-sketchup...

and I try it and fortunately work fine after that.
