So there is no way to do this by default then? I'm in max8 importing 3ds files yields triangulated meses it's not an option to delete these edges by hand. I would like a quadrangulate button if possible, also I don't know how to use max scripts yet am new to the program. -

If your mesh is an editable poly object, go to your edge sub object and select the edge you want "removed" and then click "remove". It's in the Edge Sub object in the edit edges menu. If it's an editable mesh object, then go to the Edge sub object and, grab the edge you want and look for the "invisible" function. -

If it's a particularly complicated mesh and you can't install the plugin Per mentioned, try wings3d's quadify, it works pretty well. There's a navigation controls preset to match max's in the preferences, btw.
