IvanKolev	That's right. Moov UI uses Qt, and the full set of Qt widgets is available for the first time in Max 2018. In Max 2017 some of the controls don't work (as the object picking lists, as you noticed), and in Max 2016 there's no UI at all. But the modifier was still retained for compatibility when (possibly) backporting scenes from Max 2018+ to 2016/2017. It is stil possible to make changes to the Moov modifier through Max scripting, with commands like: $.modifiers[3].collisionMeshes = #( $GeoSphere002 ) This caveat is not mentioned in the documentation, we're going to improve the docs for Moov in 3dsMax and include it..
