I've never used Viz, but when I've encountered the scattering problem when exporting from Max and importing to Vue, I've been able to solve it by either:

1. attaching all objects into one big object in Max before exporting.

or

2. First, zero xforms on all objects, then collapse their modifier stacks. Then link them into a hierarchy. Export. It's possible you don't have to link them, but if you do they're grouped in Vue when you import them, which is handy.
