I did save it out as a .obj those files seem to play nicer in 3ds MAX. But because the scan saves all the individual polygons as Tris instead of easier to work with rectangles I decided to overlay a plane on top of the model and morph it to the shapes I needed for ease in modifying to fit the screen.
I'm nearly done recreating the original but now the hard work comes into play in the redesign. The good news is since I took the model down from 3 million polys to about 2500 right now. I added modifiers to smooth it out bringing the count to about 50,000 but still substantially better than before. I can also turn on/off that modifier to make it easier to change as needed.
