Theres no surefire way getting max to dif. You should use Quark or DeleD to create the models, as they need to be brushbased, sorry.

Otherwise I think theres a max2map and then a map2dif tool but if you have only slightly concave objects its gonna break. So Best approach use a dedicated Brushbased modeller.

Look up Game Level Builder and read through the documentation carefully to comply with CSG-safe practices in Max. Then use Map2Dif to convert the created .map files.

Or use a program that was designed for brush-based modeling.
