Need help on modeling this, I'm new at 3DsMax

Yes, it's called poly modeling.

 

Check out some of the tutorials here: http://www.3dtotal.com/ffa/tutorials/tutorialsmax.php

 

Also, take a look at the links I posted here: http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?29434-***Free-Max-Tutorials***. There are literally thousands of free tutorials in those links.

so how do i extrude the lower part ?

 

This is where poly modeling skill is required. If you don't know how to poly model then you can't create complex models. Have you been reading tutorials like I suggested? Have you gone through the tutorials provided in the Max Help menu?

 

In order to extrude the lower part, you will need to cut poly's and move and weld vertices. It's a little complicated to explain. You need to study tutorials.

Ahh ic ic, 1 question, is there a 'pathfinder'-like tool in 3ds max ? The one in adobe illustrator .

[Cad64 80]

Yes but it's called Boolean or Pro-Boolean in Max. These tools will allow you to perform the same type of actions that the Pathfinder tool does in Illustrator. Check your Max Help files for information on how these tools work.
