3D Studio Max Problem?

Question:Hi Everyone!

Just a quick question. When I export any model and import them into another scene (3D Studio Max), all the colors I have assigned to my model no longer displays, and every object turns grey (sticks to one color). For some reason, when importing my model, I can't even change the color of my objects!

Basically what I am trying to do is copy my model into another saved file, and the only way I can think of doing that is via exporting and importing.

Could anybody give me advice?

Thanks in advance

Need more information. I am a MAX'er myself.

You export as what format?

Just import from the standard max file without exporting to some other "External" format.

What version of MAX too?

Just import the objects directly from the other .max file and "merge with scene".
