my bitmap parameter is missing in the material editor in 3d studio max. If any one done texture mapping with 3d studio please help me.

never mind, I got it. The instruction I used must be for older version.

you''ll have to go to the modify panel and there from the dropdown menu of modifiers go to Unwarp UVW, then you''ll have to choose select faces from the Unwarp modifier and then select the needed part of the model. Then you go down and choose planar map( thats below in the modifier) then you press edit and you''re ready!
