There are 37 Line surfaces in the chandelier model. These won't show up as invalid surfaces because they're lines, but it sounds like your importer doesn't like them (a line is a surface with only 2 vertices, which the importer complains about, so I'm assuming this is the problem).

To see this - select all objects and click the "Poly" button in the lower left of ac3d. This will convert all Line objects in your document to polygons. Once done, go into Surface mode and issue an Edit -> Select Surfaces -> Invalid poly. This way you can isolate the line objects in your model.

Try making a copy of the chandelier without these polygons and try the import again - if this works, you'll know that you'll have to replace your lines with actual polygons.

Good luck
