Why would you export model from Maya to Max at the first place? This can be achieved easily in Maya.

its kinda popular in archvis world. n most of us use 3dmax for archvis projects, may be u can use the same steps in maya,

option 1 - animate slice modifier

option 2 - use Visibility Tracks ( divide the elements n key the visibility at different time frame)

option 3 - animate geometry ,verts etc ... out put will be cool with little post work,, but too much work..

Option 4 - using scripts n plugins like digimation Grow

u can do those above steps in maya too, but instead of visibility track it may be named different.
