yesterday managed to export hull meshes and materials of uboat 7a. However, when trying to open the .obj files in 3ds max 9 had major problems (i'll post screenie when get home of the interesting info pop-up on import).
Was able to fix by openning in wings3d, saving both objects as 3ds and importing them as 3ds.
Also, it looks like scales of the models in this and previous versions are the same, which is good.
that is if I try to import the exported obj directly. The result is... well, literally nothing.
p.s. I know for most of the more experienced people here its nothing. For me - a little win :P
