Help with .3ds export (using SketchUp)

[magicrusso]

Basically I design a house and when I export it (using the correct export parameters) there are some faces that doesn't appear. For example, the roof. I think it could be the way it is designed, something that sketchup can't export. It worked well for many of the houses I've designed but for some others I have that problem.

So I wanted to ask if there's a secure way to export a model from sketchup preserving every face or if there's a restriction with the modelling like overlapping shapes.

 

Thanks in advance

 

PS: the problem is not with the sketchup model itself but the .3ds that I import to 3DS Max

sketchup it's only for Boxes.

 

instead of using the glass in sketchup, use a texture like this :
