Hoofman:
Your best guess is probably to import the models in Blender and find out if they are correct and, if not, correct them. You can then export them as a 3DS or OBJ model.
The reason for the strange behaviour is that there seem to exist several "dialects" in the way 3DS files are composed by different programs. The same problem exists with other file formats, like OBJ.

fhoofman, please try the Beta version version of Sweet Home 3D 2.4. I recently fixed a bug that should avoid some 3DS imported models from floating. I found also a discussion on the Internet about a working solution for some faulty 3DS files, but I didn't try it yet.

Not sure I can do better. Did you check the colors of the 3DS file in Blender?
