Tried that...no joy, unfortunately.  I think it may have to do with the scaling
of the object.  When I import 3ds into SoftFx, it usually has to multiply the
object size by a factor of 100.  When I import the converted SoftFx object into
Moray, it's still usually very small, so it needs to be scaled by at least
10...and no, importing directly into Moray and scaling by 1000 doesn't seem to
work either...
