hey, here is the file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5cLxJeOrDLldXN2LUtQQTlaVTA/edit?usp=sharing
there are following attributes included:

- vel (3f), loads as vector
- normal (3f), loads as vector
- up (3f), loads as single float in softimage
- angular (3f), loads as single float in softimage

thanks for looking into it.
