I have posted this on the Autodesk forums and Google group. Although there is zero activity, so not quite sure where else to go except here.

I'm attempting to write a scene exporter using the 3DS Max .NET SDK. I currently have what I thought was the bare minimum setup in order to create an exporter. After building the DLL I copy it into the bin/assemblies directory and launch MAX 2013 and attempt an export. I receive the message "An error has occurred and the application will now close. No scene changes have occurred since your last save."


I copy and pasted the Descriptor and Loader from the example in http://area.autodesk...rp-source-code.

Do I have something set up wrong in my code that could cause this issue? My project references Autodesk.Max and the "Copy Local" is set to false.
