Can you show something? There are so many ways to do the same thing in Max. With a bit of an idea of what your scene looks like and an idea of what you are trying to do it will be easier to give some useful advice.
Possibly explore Booleans. The new 'Boolean Modifer' in Max 2025 is really robust and powerful. It can probably do what you need really easily.
