Please refer to the instructions for the current material support in D5 LiveSync for 3ds Max:
1. Dirt Material: When there are both occluded and non-occluded maps, the non-occluded map is taken.
2. The current version only supports basic mapping for procedural maps such as falloff, mix, composite, etc., and will be individually optimized for these nodes in the future.
3. Tips: Directly remove the falloff node, or replace it with a material library material (When the IOR is greater than or equal to 10, the D5 material metalness parameter is 1, it is recommended to manually adjust the IOR to below 10 or lower the metalness parameter in D5).

The transparency map needs to be added to the 'Opacity' map slot in the 3ds Max material.
After synchronization or export to D5, it will automatically correspond to the transparency material template.

Due to the limitations of export efficiency, exporting larger 3ds Max files (over 1.5G) to .skp is indeed slower.
Suggestion: If you need to import to D5, you can directly use the linked workflow; if you need to export .skp files, you can try to export the overall model in multiple .skp files.

It may be related to the current software environment. Please try to use administrator privileges and enter the following command on the command line (enter cmd in the windows search box). After the execution is successful and a pop-up window is displayed, see if the thumbnail image can be displayed normally.
If it still doesn't work, it may be that the 3ds Max installation package used lacks the dependency file for this feature. It is recommended to try using an installation package from another source.
Tips: The instructions need to be modified according to your actual situation. E.g. Currently using the 2020 version of 3ds max, installed under D:\anzhuang2\3dsmax2020\ path, Enter command‘D:\anzhuang2\3dsmax2020\3ds Max 2020\MaxThumbnailShellExt.dll'.
