When you open it, it should look something similar to this (Depending on your 3ds Max version)

Creating A Char Bone Selection Macro Button

Before we do any animation, we will want to create a little button that will select the char bone, because trust me, you will need to select that annoying little bone located under the pelvis a whole lot.

Go up to MaxScript and click on 'New Script'

Now you will get a notepad like window popup like this

In here, you will want to type the following:

if $char != undefined then
(
select $char
)else(
messagebox "Char bone does not exist!"
)

This in English is:

If an object in the scene with the name of 'char' is not equal to undefined (exists) then select it, but if it doesn't exist, display a message-box saying so.

Now you can save the script if you want to create a script file (.ms), or you can select all the code and drag it to the top menu like so: Gif Image: https://i.imgur.com/rtz2OtK.gif

Or static screenshot:

After you drag your code onto the menu button bar at the top, 3ds Max will create a blue script box icon (Shown in the red circle).

Now right click that and hit 'Edit Button Appearance...'

Now, check 'Text Button' and give it the label of something small like 'Char Bone' and click ok at the bottom.

If you click your button with the biped open or an object with a sub object called char then it will select it and display a message if there is not.

all we have to do now is import the .bvh file into our Biped
