Importing 3d Object into C4d

I brought an illustrator file into Zaxwerks Invigorator to give a 3d logo some extra bevels/faces etc so it would be easier to add multiple textures in C4D. I tried exporting as a .c4d AND .obj file but when I bring those into C4D, i see nothing. The object is in my OBJECTS window and the accompanying textures from Invigorator are imported and i see an axis for the object in my display but the objects just are simply not there. Do I have to do something differently when I import? Do I have to convert the object once it's brought in? I'd prefer not to have to add bevels/faces in C4D because I don't think they would come out as nice. Thanks for the help.

thanks for the quick reply but I exported it as a .dxf file (which was the only possibility listed in BOTH the c4d preferences and the invig options) so the problem is solved. but i appreciate the fast response.
