Hey guys and gals…  
I’m a complete retard to 3dsMax5, but, I was told that the 3dsMax4 .dts exporter plugin should work for 3dsMax5, but for me it doesnt ☹

What happens is, I load it into the plugins folder, run 3dsMax, it loads fine, no errors, nothings wrong, I make a simple box, then goto export it, but I get the error as follows:

“No Bounding Box Found”

What is a bounding box? Or, what exactly is my problem that I have to fix, in order for this to get working? Thank yahs.

A bounding box is a cube around an object, delimiting its volume occupied in space.

BTW, what the hell is a dts exporter?
