Empty project after importing large VIM file using Combine All

If you try to import a very large model into 3ds Max using the Combine All option, it is possible that nothing will show up in the Viewport.

This problem arises from a limitation of 3ds Max, where single objects beyond a certain size cannot be displayed in the Viewport. Usually this happens when the single element is quite large, with over 1.5 million faces.

To resolve this issue, delete the element and re-import the VIM file with one or more of the Combine by Group options enabled, for example:

• Combine by Material
• Combine by Category
• Combine by Family
