I am trying to extrude a bunch of connected faces on a mesh as one, but Maya keeps seperating each face on its own. In the Docs it says to select the option "keep faces together" in the extruding settings, but I dont' have this option for some reason in my settings.

I'm using maya 7.01

I am doing this... Edit Polygon > Extrude Faces

Anyone know why I don't have this option and even better how to get it working?

Metoc: Just turning it on once should keep the option turned on until it's turned off.

I expressed myself not good enough, excuse me.

In some situations I use Extrude Faces very often -- almost in series. I want and need to turn keep faces togehther on. So, every time I extrude, I've to change "keep faces together" to ON. Annoying.
I think the best way is, keeping this option turned on, is to write a litte MEL script, right?

thank you :)

Metoc, if you are using 'Keep Faces Together' from the Polygons > Tool Options menu then it should stay on until you turn it off.

(As opposed to doing it through the channel box).
