You see bones :) just hide them - click on the SelectByName button (right to the currently active on toolbar), select 'smdimport' object, then right-click in active viewport and select 'Hide Unselected' from right-click menu.

seresv, please list what you see there, then.
Or you might select bones - see the names corresponding to current model in mesh's GMDC resource, Joints sub-tab (they differ a bit for different ages) - and apply Hide Selected to them. Whatever remains should be the sim body.

I have a kind of stupid question - did you tried to drag scrollbar in this dialog? On screenshot, it lists objects which names start from J to L, Smdimport should be ways below :-|

By the way, here's a fast way for you to list all objects.
Select all objects (Edit -> Select All).
Open from menu MAXScript -> MAXScript Listener (hotkey should be F11, if you don't find it somehow).
Into the window opened, copy the following string:
for obj in selection do print obj.name
Put cursor at the end of this string and press Enter.
All object names should be printed below, so you can copy and paste them here.

Another quick way to hide Bone objects is to go to the display tab, and tick 'Bone Objects' in the Hide by Category partWow, thanks, atavera! Didn't know of this feature, really handy :)

Also, I would suggest changing your export/import scale in SimPE when working with .SMD files in Max(I use scale of 20x) This way the bones will appear in the correct places at least, and you can see the mesh.


Can u plz tell me how to do that in simpe . How to change smd file export/import scale in SimPe.

I have one question though, where do i get the simbody from to export it out with simpe.
