3ds max tests

Now that the modelling process is practically complete, we are testing to make sure it imports into 3DS max, both 2009 and 9. 3DS max 2009 will be used for the mental ray renders while 3DS max 9 will deal with lightstudio renders.

There are no problems importing into max 2009 as this supports the file format .fbx which can be exported from revit.
As max 9 doesn't open this format, the model will have to be exported using the format .dwg. Sometimes because of unknown reasons, when opening this in max 9 the walls dont match up properly so it possibly will need to be opened and re-saved using autocad.
