Sorry I don't know 3ds max, I use google sketchup because its free.  Having said that I've never had any success using cryengine exporter, I've always had to manually zip and unzip and use the converter programs to convert the collada to cgf.  And I'm running vista right now so it doesn't even let me do that properly, so I had to send the files to my mom's computer (with xp) and convert them there, then send them back to my pc to import them into crysis...so needless to say I gave up on that project for now.
