download the 3dstorwx.exe program from ActiveWorld's support page, 3rd
Party Tools... or if you're really lazy, just download from this
http://Activeworlds.com/downloads/3dstorwx.zip

in 3d Studio, export your scene into a 3DS format and run the 3dstorwx.
This will get you the rwx model, but make sure that you put a material on
the model in 3d Studio so it will look right, otherwise it turns out solid
black...
even after converting it to rwx, the texturing looks a little funky, and
the dimensions change to about 10m (constrained proportions, of course). So
you'll have to do some fiddling in notepad and rwxmod to get it to look
right.
Eep's page used to have some other converters, but he's still on a stint,
so they aren't available...

Thank you for your help :)
but everything we create and upload can be walked through. how do we make it
solid? its probably a simple command, but I don't know it, I'm still new to
object making. again we appreciate your help :)

Yes, I'm well aware of the plug-in... and I used it before, as well. The only
detail is that it only supports 3D Studio MAX R2 and R2.5, while I have R3 which
is not supported one bit. See my point? But thanks for pointing that out to the
less-informed.

PS: If you see a plug-in around claiming to support export to rwx in 3ds R3, let
me know... I'll see if it's as good as the claim... ;)
