If you have time could you please explain the settings that I should use on the VRML export dialogue in MAX? I'm not sure what all the boxes are for....so if you could post a screenshot of the dialogue box and the values, or point to a direction so I could find then, I would much appreciate it.

Does the VRML eliminate the shading problems that we had with using .obj files straight from MAX?

When I export as a VRML97 in the option window under Generate I turn on Normals and Indentation and leave everything else off. I select NGONS under Polygons Type and leave the rest of the fields blank. The last thing I do is to uncheck the Use Prefix.

This works well for me. I was having alot of problems with the textures of exported .obj parts being all screwed up in OPS. This disappeared using VRML.

The only problem I've noticed is that on the import into OPS with VRML, sometimes the position of the object goes all wacky. This got frustrating but is really only a minor hassle. There are probably many workarounds for it.
