SOLUTION:
OMG I hate max tools.....
Thank god for FFE.....
* Okay in FFE go straight to MARK......
* replace text... I don't care what the markers are called just kill them, kill them now.....
* search string: point0
* Replace string: point_
* Replace all in the chunk.....
* You can now successfully extract the sob in 3ds max.....
Just a rename... :P *slaps self repeatedly*
Now to the Other models I can't extract....
I love talking with myself to find solutions... and it amuses the person I care for, so it has a second benefit. :P
Remember to fix it afterwards getting it back into whm or while in Max.
