Ok, i know nothing about 3dstudio max. I'm trying to optimize a mesh that's a .3ds i imported into max. However optimize is doing nothing to the mesh. If i try to run optimize on a sphere i generate in 3dstudio it works fine. Is it just cause it's a .3ds file? How can i get around this?

some import got for example 3 vertices in each corner. Try to first, be sure of the scale (if not, apply utilities/reset xform then right clic convert to poly), then try to weld the vertices (select all vertices, and clic weld into epoly, then adjust spinner)
