Appending tools from Max

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hey all,

This is my first post and I guess I’m what you’d call a noob. So I’m trying to
import 2 .objs from 3D StudioMax so I can append one to the other as a sub tool.
When I do so I get 1 of 3 outcomes, repeatedly.
The first is that z brush will just crash.
The second is that I can append the second tool, but it comes in all blown up and polys go every where.
The third is that it appends, but nothing shows up.

I’m wondering if this has happend to anyone else or if anyone has anysuggestions as to how I can fix this.

Thanks.
