Hello,

Are you using gmax + nwmax?

If you are using nwmax 0.7 then your ascii .mdl will be output to the same directory you loaded it from.

Also you have to be sure that the "snoop" program is running in order to export models from gmax + nwmax. The easiest way to do this is to use the nwmax icon that should have been placed on your desktop when you installed nwmax. Otherwise start gmax and then look for \gmax\scripts\NWmax\nwmax.exe and run it. This program is what lets you export ascii .mdl from gmax

If you check the box(under Export Geom only) "Compile exported model" that is what you will get. Simply uncheck the box and click "Export Geom only" and you will get the model ascii without .ascii. And then use mdlops to compile the model.
