3ds exporter not working :S?

[TheJamsh]

ive managed to import an ISDF Power generator into .3ds by converting it using 3de (opened the .XSI, then straight into .3ds format)

for some reason however, i make a few colour changes in 3DS, then try an export, but the output file comes out only 2kb in size, and opens in threed but theres nothing there...

what wrong with it :S?

Did you delete the "frm" objects and relink as needed? If not, it messes up.

Which is why I can't simply import walkers in to max. Many empty pivot frms that I cant export with.
