model export to previous Max versions
Allow export of base model from Max to earlier version of Max. I don't understand why I can't export a collapsed poly object from Max9 to Max7, then reapply Meshsmooth , UVW, etc. This could even be a utility, like stl check, that verifies if your model is exportable to a previous version.

Why this is important to me
Many things are OK exported as .3ds or .obj, but some require extensive cleanup after import, so retension of .max for some models is very important.
