Does anyone know how to convert W3D or GMAX files to 3DS? I have looked around and found very little, much of which no work Sad I'm trying to get sketch up to load 3d files from CNC, but they are all W3D, and I can't convert that to 3DS, or SKT, the only 2 3d files opened by sketch up.

don't have max (if you mean 3ds max), and I am not going to get it. I heard someone else had sketch up that they used for modeling renegade, how do they do it?

PS:found a way, using a listing devise, I have to copy code to notepad and save as an object file. Then, open up milkshape, import (at this point obj is now I mesh Sad, missing tires, and rotated), export to 3ds file, then import with sketch up. Unfortunately, I can't apply textures to it b\c it is one mesh, and sketch up can't break it up (or milkshape), so I still need another way Sad. I also tried "XGrinder" obj converter, but the files tend to become the rong type of 3ds (there are 2, autodesk and adobe or something) and sketch up crashes when I load it. Sketch up onl;y imports 3ds files (+sketch up files, duh), and I have not found an plug-in for it that would help me in this. I have searched for DAYS!
HELP ME!
(just a request, no one yell at me for demanding help...)

Use the W3D Importer for Gmax tool to import a W3D model into Gmax, and THEN use the 3DS Exporter for Gmax to export that to a .3ds file. I would give you download links but I am at work at the moment and most sites that would host them are blocked by the proxy server Sad
