In the Edit UVW's window go, Tools > Render UVW Template
They included it in Max8 or was it in Max9?
Fill: R 0, G 255, B 0
Edge/Edge Seam: R 255, G 0, B 255
If you use these settings, you can use this photoshop action to separate the wires and solid chunks to their own layers. Or you can record your own action just as easily using color select. I bound it F12 so I open the tga template, hit F12 and away I go.
After you change the settings (in render UV template) make sure to go Options > Save Current Settings as Default that way the colors stay the same the next time you apply UnwrapUVW.
Wow, good call haha. Sorry, I just jumped from v7 to 2010 so I had no idea. It did seem strange that I couldn't find a download for it anywhere on the entire interweb. Thanks a ton!

Texporter was merged into max back in like version 7 or something. In the UV editor window, go to tools>render UVW template.

I still think Texporter is better than the build in one.
