Mjblosser has published a free scripted modifier for 3DS Max, Rapid Resize Modifier!
This script is basically a scripted modifier that extends the Xform Modifier. It allows you to non-destructively scale objects to precise real-world dimensions. It works on both single and multiple objects.
Version 1.3: Now correctly reports dimensions for mirrored and negatively scaled objects. Although I personally recommend resetting XForms for mirrored objects as a general best practice.
Features:
Works on single objects as well as multiple objects and groups.
Adjust the pivot anchor to 27 possible locations around the bounding box without changing the object's original pivot
Fine-tune anchor point using spinners
Usage:
When applied to a single object, scaling is performed using the object's LOCAL bounding box.
When applied to multiple objects, scaling is performed using the objects' WORLD bounding box
