I think you should go through export button in the datasmith ribbon in 3ds Max

> Hi Mouton001 ! In 5.1 we unified the workflow in 3dsMax to match our other plugins. You should now have a ribbon/toolbar called “Datasmith”, with your export options instead of exporting through Max’s “Export” menu. Cheers, Antoine
