yes your not likely to have someone else around here do the work for you, especially since your new.
I would suggest googling some 3ds max tutorials or even looking in the manual that came with your purchase (or asking your professor if its at school) about the different tools and commands.
Its really not so difficult to do something such as this yourself.
You will be more likeley to get help if you show that you have already tried yourself, but you are stuck. otherwise it makes you look lazy.
