No.
It didn't work, but now I'm back on the Mech tut again so I didn't strife do get them imported.
Thing is I checked the Window>Settings/Preferences>Plug-in Manager but there (see pic *) is nothing that resembles the 3dsImport.mll so I wouldn't know what further to do. And where are the import options?
I also checked the help button with a search on 3ds import: NADA. (No Results) !!
So you got any other ideas?
