3DS max performance q's

ImSlightlyBored

just a couple of quick questions about max (using 9, 32bit)

Any way to get .obj import to speed up? I need to import hi poly meshes but it always seems to hang (/import for an hour) and its really slowing down the process.

And, any way to make the import/export function default to .obj files? I'm fed up of having to scroll down so frequently. Sounds minor but it adds up.

Cheers for any help

get the gw obj importer -> http://www.guruware.at/main/index.html ... standard 3dsmax import is such a joke.

woah cheers
cant quite believe how much faster and smoother it is, or why the default is so bad.

FWIW, judging from the screenshots at that website, guruware-obj-ex/importer is now the standard one that ships with max 2009. btw. the old importer can be sped up quite considerably by unchecking "unify" on import.
