Yeah, I export them as .dae. I'll often get some errors when importing models that are rigged to a bone. I usually just click okay when I see such errors.
Honestly, I have no problem sending you the files, if needed be. It's just that I'm like a bunch of you: I want to know how to get things done. It still pisses me off that I need to ask for help, no matter how much I do it.
That's really weird; when I try to do the same, the models don't appear at all - 3DS Max tells me they're there, but they don't show up.
If you're willing to send me the files, that would be awesome, you'd really help me out. I'm currently trying to get these two things into 3DS Max:
.Pac Name - BRES Name - Model Name
040201 - ModelData[0] - 042mAdvCloud01
420023b - ModelData[0] - 420mAdvFinal23b
