I am importing some 3ds files that were exported from Form Z and the smoothing gets all messed up. If I auto smooth each object individualy it makes them right.. but this it extreamly tedious.. any solutions already written?

Thanks!!!

try obj

3ds is a format limited to 32000 polys and if it goes over that then it just breaks up the model into chunks which can screw up smoothing and requiring welding
