Mick,
After you have imported your 3ds object, you can double click the
object . You will see a "no parameters" window. With that window
open choose "Edit" and select "Convert to Other Modeler" select
"Vertex Model" from list and from there you enter the vertex
modeling room. Apply shading domains to the areas you want to
texture/shade.
You can pick the rest up from the manual or helpfiles or follow
Cecillia's tutorial on 3dXtract.com for some guidance as well.
