You have this 
5.Define Length Segs:4 Width Segs:4 Height Segs:2
6.Convert the mouse object in Edit Poly
7.Select the right part of the mouse polys and delete them. 3dmax asks for deletion of isolated vertices, select yes
8.Go to vertex level
9.Move the vertex to follow the reference, you have to obtain someting like this
10.Add a meshsmooth modifier and after go to edges level
11.Select these edges
12.Chamfer the edges 0,02
13.Go to vertex level
14.Weld these two point at the rear
15.Select these poly, don't forget to select the little tri at the intersections
14.Extrude the poly created by -0,2 and select local normal
15.Delete these poly
16.Go back to edge level, you'll obtain this
17.Add these edge to the selection
18.Chamfer the edges of 0,01
Now we have to clean the chamfer result.

33.On the edges level select these edges and select loop.
34.Chamfer these edges of 0,02.
35.select the poly created and delete them.
36.By adding a meshsmooth or a turbosmooth iteration 1 you'll obtain this.
