i can do these all steps manually in 3ds max but i really wonder how should i do this in maxscript.

can i do all these in maxscript? btw, i am just a beginner in maxscript..
- import 3d model which is stl file
- create plane at the bottom of the model
- create shape
- array the shape along the model ( inside array --> type of object: copy
--> array dimensions: set 1 in 1D --> for 2D incremental row offset: i want to make a user interface where people can enter the value of in either x or y or z.
-export the arrayed shapes afterward

please help me if anyone of you about these..
cheers

Actually, you can use maxscript import/export data as long as you know what the file format exactly is .You can find something useful on maxscript reference "How to ... Output Geometry Data To Text File" topic.Create shape and plane is also very easy task.Just check maxscript reference , there is a lot of examples .
