Like I said, you can’t import max files into any software unless you have Max actually installed. It’s not a mesh format like 3ds, obj, dae etc. It’s a Max scene file and has loads of extra info in it such as lights, cameras, animation and other Max-specific special effects, as @colin has said.
Repeated components can turn up in all kinds of weird ways. Sometimes there’s only the original one present and all the others are missing. Sometimes all the copies are piled-up in the same place. I’ve seen cars where all 4 wheels are stacked under the same wheel arch.
