Hello.

I tried to import .udatasmith model from 3ds max but I keep getting these errors:

```auto
DatasmithImport: Error: Cannot find Static Mesh 57 for Static Mesh Actor DrawCall_0256.StaticMeshComponent0.
DatasmithImport: Error: Cannot find Static Mesh 58 for Static Mesh Actor DrawCall_0257.StaticMeshComponent0.
DatasmithImport: Error: Cannot find Static Mesh 59 for Static Mesh Actor DrawCall_0258.StaticMeshComponent0.

```

and etc.

I have \_Assets folder at the same level as .udatasmith file.  
I don’t have any special characters in file path.

I’ve chosen the right 3ds Max plugin version [here](https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/datasmith/plugins) (3ds max and 4.27 UE version)

None of fixes i have found here on forum could help me out ([this](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/cannot-find-static-mesh-for-static-mesh-actor-on-import/112881) and etc.).

How can i resolve my problem? Are there any special settings for export in 3ds max except installed plugin + choosing datasmith format?  
Are there any other ways for “simple” export from 3dsmax to Unreal Engine 4.27?

P.s. I have Datasmith Content and Datasmith FBX Importer plugins enabled  
P.p.s. Here is a directory containing udatasmith file:

the path you gave for 3ds Max Plugin is generic one. just to double check you did use that one [https://unrealstudio.epicgames.com/UnrealDatasmithMaxExporter\_4\_27\_2.msi](https://unrealstudio.epicgames.com/UnrealDatasmithMaxExporter_4_27_2.msi)  
and then you use Unreal Engine version 4.27.2?
