you can move/rotate the gizmo to the proper center of the model, assuming im reading what you are saying right.

Select the object, go to the hierarchy tab and click affect pivot only, then underneath center to object. Re apply the sym modifier and it should work, with the correct axis selected.

Textureing but still valuable

Also Turbosquid.com has an excellent 3ds max forum with some solid members that know what they are doing

i actually found the tutorials that came with it less then useful. and rather confusing...(i quickly went past them on fail 3) although when i get the modeling down better i may give the animation and camera tutorial a look at. im curios to see if it is better then C4D or not.
