I'm not quite sure what your saying. If you want them all one object , Convert to editable mesh and scroll down on your toolbar and look for the attach button and attach them all together.
Then you can weld the vertices.

Sorry for my bad english today. :oops:

What i am looking for is an easy way to fix:

Two Different meshes to be placed together.

Get the Axis of the vertex you want the other meshes vertext to line up with
http://img192.exs.cx/img192/1539/seq28oe.th.jpg

Put the other Vertex's axis on the one you want to move over.
http://img192.exs.cx/img192/6056/seq30xg.th.jpg

Repeat, and you have a perfect match mesh.

Select first object (make sure it's in editable mesh), right click->Attach and click on each of the other objects.

Then select the vertices around the edges of the areas that you want to connect, and under "Weld" on the "Create" tab on the right click on "Selected". You can either put the number up to a high enough number (100 or something) and select each pair of vertices and weld them, or make sure the groups of vertices that you want to connect are close enough and use the default number. Then you can match their smoothing groups so they look right.

The instructions you gave me Sir Phoenixx, don't work, since i can't find this "Weld" thing anywhere in renX. (exept for "target weld" and that has no effect).

And oblivion165, i already knew that... But i can't tell what vert is located where sinds it's all messy. I also can't detach the objects... Omg *goes crazy*

It's late for me... Ill look at it more carefully later... :bomb: :crazy:

Then you must have not looked, because it's exactly where I said it was...

Very Happy Actually, I was going to make it one gigantic arrow covering the entire space above the Weld section...
