I'll check it once I install this update. Is it a beta update or a release version?

Not really related, but as Oleg mentioned the beta:

PPD files got a version increase, from 0x16 to 0x17. I have no clue what changed. Just in case this isn't already known.

@Peerke145, I don't have overweight DLC, may you send me couple of files that generate a problem on import?
@Reinhard, I haven't spotted any changes on ppd files, inspected just some of them. Is there any info on what .ppd file has changes related to version increase? Also, where the quoted info comes from?

An updated version should be able to import 0x17 PPD files (and export as 0x16 version, as I don't know what exactly has changed in 0x17).

Edit: The only mention on 1.36 beta prefab changes was found related to navigation on cross-border prefab setup.

I've just read somewhere a nondescript comment that there was a change. In the following, I opened both a 1.35 and a new 1.36 PPD with a hex-editor, and spotted a version increase.

I have no more information to offer, sorry.

After last update Zmodeler crash when I try to import belly_van.pmd from \vehicle\trailer_owned\scs_chipvan\body. Before the update it was the same.

Updated.

The particular model also uses "retroreflective" shader with "pick.alldir" extension. It is not supported on export, mind to change this shader if you want the model to be exproted. The "piko.alldir" extension (or may be the retroreflective shader itself) uses a per-vertex multiplicative (strength or effect power) data called "v_factor" that is neither imported nor exported by ZModeler.

Other than that, the model should be able to import fine.
