I belive you can't :( :( :( But I'm not sure. For all I know, the closest method is to nick the mesh/textures using a program like sparkedit, then re-align all textures in 3DS, create new shaders etc.. and Load up into sapiens.

Im a noob tho, so if Im wrong, please feel free to enlighten me ;)

Sorry man, I think its impossible to get the original maps into sapiens unless you do it the hard way, ie: export the mesh & textures, and re-skin the whole map in 3ds/guerilla etc...

If you look at HEK FAQ it also says this is 'impossible', however nothing seems to be impossible if you put in enough time and effort. Just it wont be easy Im afraid :cry:
