Better export/import options for the 3D Studio Max Design (Civil View)

[dsimenic]

We need better comunication between IW and 3DS Max, like Civil View for Civil 3D.

Typically, during the import/export problems persist:

 - in the coordinate mismatch;

 - textures problems (3DS Max objects to IW); .... etc

It's possible to do manually, but it's not straight and user friendly. 

And, possibility to export EG with draped aerial image (Bing?) to the 3DS Max will be very useful. (now it's not ideal for the larger projects in the 3DS)

Maybe expanding a Civil View to serve complete interoperability between Civil - IW - 3DS will be a best solution?

I also have mismatch in the coordinates when importing a model from Revit

Civil View for Infraworks (including the import VISSIM options) should have been a priority IMO) over other things like the new traffic module.
THe traffic model tools are nifty, but our VISSIM experts laugh at its functionality after i had them do serious review.
Autodesk, quit doing so many bells and whistles that might be valuable and continue improving interoperability e.g. CivilView with Max and VISSIM Import

Sounds like this can be handled with FBX import.
