I heard there was a script that could convert max 7 files into max 6 format?? is this true and where could i get hold of it? thanks.
Well, not exactly.
There is a script that can move SOME data from any Max format since R3 up and down via an intermediate maxscript scene description.
It requires you to have both versions installed, it does not support most animation features, does not support mesh deformations (although I had a test version almost doing that) and there is no guarantee that what you will get is what you would expect…
After this disclaimer, if you need to move mainly GEOMETRY with all UV Coordinates, Node properties and material/map trees, you could try BFF by downloading it from here:

thanks Bobo,
the problem is that i didnt have max 7…just a max 7 file and i realise that it may be asking too much to convert that. thanks for the script anyway, im sure it’ll be usefull to me at some other time.
cheers
