What is the best way to import CAP Office Furniture symbols into Max 2010? Legacy or other? What is important to keep checked or unchecked? Want to be able to apply finishes to each layer and have smooth undirty models. Am also having issues with dwg's that do this (see jpg)??? Please help :)

Try using the file-link manager with Auto-smooth adjacent faces, curve steps = 10, maximum surface deviation = 0'0.03", check "use scene material definitions" and "use scene material assignments on reload".

Your geometry looks messy from the screen shot. It's usually worth the effort to re-draw models you get from 3rd party's using auto-cad's solids/booleans. You'll have a model that's better organized, lighter in the poly count and generally less troublesome.
