Hello All,
I have installed Blender 2.4 for Windows along with Python 2.5.1 for a client. Blender imports the .3ds file format from 3D Studio. However, in 3D Studio, it has to be exported from .max format to .3ds first. Now what happened was that after exporting from max to 3ds into Blender, a chair has turned into a drawing board used by draughtsmen with an extra pole sticking perpendicular out of the board. Has anyone on this list had such teething problems in Blender? What could be the work around for this? I will check it out on the net too.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Does Blender support OBJ format? Why don't you try that if it does. 3DS is a proprietary format of 3D Studio Max while the OBJ format is used to port files from literally any 3D modeling and editing software to another. Also, before exporting your model into any file format, make sure you have oriented the local axes of the model to the world. If its only the orientation that has changed and not its topography, then you don't need a work around, only need to rotate the model in blender :-)

Thanks for the info, I have forwarded it to the 3DS user.
