    What is the exact message that you see?

     

    How are you trying to import the file? This is what I see when I check iBooks Author help

    Add a 3D widget

    Choose 3D from the Widgets pop-up menu in the toolbar.

     

    To add a file, do one of the following:

     

    Drag a file from the Finder to the widget on the page.

     

    In the Widget inspector, click Interaction, click Choose, and choose a COLLADA file with the extension .dae.

     

    To constrain the object’s rotation to horizontal or vertical axes, choose an option from the Object Rotation pop-up menu.

     

    To automatically rotate the object, select “Auto-rotate object when idle.”
