Triangulation problem - Exporting from Max to Maya

[actionthisday]

Hi,

I recently bought a couple of interior scenes and realized that the only format provided was '.max'. I tried exporting FBX / 3DS / OBJ formats from Max and bringing them into Maya, but the geometry is all triangulated. The Mesh > Quadrangulate option in Maya doesn't seem to work wonders either. How do I ensure a quad geometry output from Max?

Seeing that both programs are from Autodesk, one would assume there's an easier, more straightforward method of sharing formats, but nope.

Also, I'm using a student version of both programs, are there any known limitations to exporting geometries?

Thanks!
