Why LWS can't be converted here
LWS is LightWave 3D's own closed format. Its internal structure is proprietary, so no open-source library can read it — which is why no converter outside LightWave 3D can open your file.
What does work: open the file in LightWave 3D and export it as FBX. We convert FBX reliably.
