Another tree question

my tree saga continues...
I'm trying a different approach with this test pine tree where I have a main "trunk", a bunch of "branches", and a "leaf" canopy over each branch. They're all edit meshes and the branches and leaves are linked to the trunk.
Here's my max file:

My problem is that after I export the whole shape I don't get anything in the -Show tool. I've made sure that the bounds box encloses everything, linked everything correctly (i think), and added my dummies (base01,start01,detail128), but nothing is working.
Could someone take a look at this and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

It turns out that the bounding box was corrupted when I resized it down to scale. After deleting and reinserting, it works.
