Well, have you reported these import fails? We don’t have that many reports of failures, so from our standpoint, Datasmith is robust and doing the job. We have surveyed all Datasmith users on every release and they are telling us that it is robust and doing the job (mostly). Just to say that your experience may not be common. We would love to get reports on these fails and fix them. You’re not specific on anything, so I can’t really help you know what is cooking internally. Feel free to publish what isn’t working, we want to know about it. I promise you we’ll look at each of your bugs and we’ll likely surprise you by fixing all of them.
We are 6 months from our first release, but we have 100,000 registered users. There is a lot of imports happening across all formats (but mostly 3ds Max/SketchUp). We know we have unfinished work, and we have plans to go back to some importers that need more attention. Please help us by identifying these problem areas.
