Ah OK, thanks for confirming. I hope Maxon will consider your suggestion. A temporary workaround I've found is to copy all polygons from the mesh you wish to add, and paste on the parent.

I have a parent object with one child. I want to merge another mesh with the parent object, but when I use Connect Objects, the child is merged into the parent too. Is there a way to do this? In this simple test case I guessI could manually unparent, do the merge, then re-parent, but that's impractical with a more complex model.

OK, thanks, I was hoping there was a master setting had broken.

I've imported my old prefs into R26 and now suddenly all new primitives are 100x bigger than standard - Cube = 20,000cm. My Preferences Units is set to cm as usual, and Project Scaling is 1.00. I guess I could go through and resave all the defaults for each primitive, but I guess I've changed a master setting somewhere. Or mayve there's a problem in the default scene. Possibly related - when I switch views from perspective to front, for instance, my objects appear tiny in the distance and I have to zoom in. What's the best way to fix this? Thanks Joe

Thanks, exactly what I needed. Profile updated - R25

Hi, I imported a model which looks like 100s of separate objects, but they were saved out as a single connected object. I know I can select a polygon, Select Connected and then Split, but wondered if there was a more automated way to do this as it would take so long. Each of the sub-objects are clearly separated with no overlap.
