Answer 1

Hi,

First, select all the meshes you want to become one then go to edit polygons and "combine".
Now the objects has become one. However the vertecies needs to be merged together. Select the two vertecies you want to merge and go "merge verticies"
Do that with all verecies.
If you sett the merge vertecies treshold to a lower value like 0.02, then you can select and merge many vertecies at once.

I use 3d studio. sorry. I "attach" my meshes throught the standard poly editor in 3d studio and then highlight my vertices that run along the meeting edges of those meshes and weld the Vs together
