Where are the objects when exporting?

Hello.

When I export form 3dS max 2011, the scene opens in Octane with just one global object.
I made a test scene with several spheres in it but they export as one big object that always starts with the name Wire_ and then a long number.
I can't seem to select individual objects.
Am I overlooking something?

Greetings, Ludo

Objects are grouped by material in Octane. Add different materials in Max and then export.

My scene has several materials in it.
But still I see only one Wire_(number) object.
When I use the object picker tool then the objects/materials I pick are added to the object list.
Is there a way to show the object list in the nodes without picking them individually?

Greetings, Ludo

Are they standard max materials?

are you using the export script? Make sure you use material grouping.
