How do I use 3dmax to make a simple 3d model for use in a technical paper.
(drawing of an angled cross section view of a chip design)

And how can I export this to a jpg or gif file?

Go to create -> standard primatives

You can create boxes, cylinders, just about any shape. From there, you can right click the object and select convert to an editable poly/mesh and then individually edit vertices/lines/faces, etc. You can create any number of objects, convert them and then combine them to produce the desired model.

The tutorials are pretty good and I would recommend doing some of the basics to get the hang of it. It makes it easier later on.
