I'll put it like this...

'Connect' is to Cinema 4D as ? is to Maya?

I just want to convert several poly objects into one single object. I don't want to group or combine. Thanks for your help!

You don't want to combine the objects, but you want them to be one object.....?:hmm:

I came to Maya from C4D as well.

Connect in C4D is the same as Polygons > Combine

Hmm

Thanks for that. I thought there wouold be a way to get everything down to one single object...im getting parenting now.

What i've done is created a very simple robot-type character kinda similar to this model: http://www.radiantsquare.com/02Tutorials/Tutorial_FR_5Controls.html

I want to use this model with Motionbuilder and im having big trouble setting it up. I've used combine with the polys, then clicked on the skeleton and gone to rigid bind. And then export, but it's giving me errors..saying that all the poly objects cannot be exported. Any ideas?

after you combine you have to delete the history to remove all the individual nodes that sounds like it will fix your problem
