how to upload .mms file
We would need to see how the surface is defined in the drawing. Check surface properties, and it should show you how it was created. If it has a point file attached to the surface, then you will need it to build the surface. As for the MMS file, that usually means the surface was created with a point cloud or dtm. Based on what you have in the properties, I would probably request an xml file for the surface.

In my experience mms files cause all sorts of problems with surfaces and are best avoided if possible. Simplifying the surface with 85% point reduction has worked well for me as has bringing in files to a surface with a data clip boundary predefined as the first operation in the surface definition.
