3ds imports as all black

I have created a simple board in Turbocad 14 deluxe and saved it as a 3ds file.

It has a wood material applied to it and it saves just fine in Turbocad. I can load the 3ds file in Turbocad and it appears as I would expect it to.

When I import it as furniture in SweetHome, however, it appears solid black. The same thing occurs if I try to import it into Sketchup 2015.

I don't find any threads or specific references in the faq's dealing with this phenomenon.

Help!
