thx for any help
If you want to edit the model .cas files you can download a 30-day trial version of 3dsmax. Alternatively, you can download gmax, which is free, but has certain limitations built into it that you might run into (depending on what you want to do with the models).

You'll also need a copy Vercingetorix’s .CAS Importer/exporter for 3ds max.
