    Trimble Perspective is the field software that is used with the Trimble X7. It can export point cloud data in the following non-Trimble formats: E57, PTX, RCP, LAS, POD.

    Realworks is Trimble's premium processing & analysis software - it can export to FBX format. That would be the best option for going from Trimble office SW to 3ds Max.

    If you don't have Realworks you will need to have some other SW and use one of the supported formats from Trimble Perspective, then Export from that SW.

    Thank you Brendon for the message, 
    I need find out the other scaners option before I can choose it. I wish, I could had the direct export option with all Trimble scaners. 

    Once again many thanks for your help.

    Do you have AutoDesk Revit software? Both Trimble Perspective and Trimble RealWorks can export point cloud data in *.RCP format. Revit supports the import of point cloud data in the form of RCP files. From there it may be possible to get the data into a suitable format for 3ds Max. However if 3ds Max doesn't support point cloud data you may need to model to data in to a mesh or similar 3D model first.
