I take my elevations in to AutoCAD and scale them there.

I'm trying but not managing to think of a way to be sure of the scale of output direct from max. Anybody?

anytime i've done this i simply overlay a elevation to jpg layer of cad file original in photoshop and scale it suit the background
works a treat on planning applications

Good point. I do generally trust PShop and Acrobat for getting dimensions good enough.
