I am working my way through the 3dsMax turtorials.  The tutorial I'm on is called "Working in Symmetry Mode to Add Detail to the Helmet."  Step 5 says: "On the Modify panel, open the Modifier List and choose OpenSubdiv."  

 

When I open the modifier panel there is no OpenSudiv modifier in the list.  It's simply not there.  Attached is a screen shot of the available modifiers.  I would think it would be just before the "Optimize" modifer.

Open Subdiv was introduced in an Extension for Max. Extensions are only available to customers who are on subscription (and have downloaded and installed the appropriate extension). If you're not on subscription then just ignore steps 5 through 7 - you'll note that step 7 removes the modifier anyway, so you're not actually missing anything. Don't skip step 8 tho 😉
