I have been struggling for several months now with a problem in max. I want to attach several objects without loseing normals/smoothing. How do i do this?
I need help with:
Attaching without loseing the above in:
Editable poly
Editable mesh
Non-native 3ds max (used an importer for a game for personal use). The error here is that the editable mesh modifier doesn't have the subgroup smoothing groups.

Use the ATTACH button under Edit Geometry (See attachment) If you're worried about history states, add an edit poly modifier to the object that you want to attach other objects, and then Attach from within the edit poly modifier.

Yes, the Collapse Utility will keep the normals intact. It'll produce an Editable Mesh as a result but you can convert that to an Editable Poly object without issues. Keep in mind, though, that some modifiers and actions will break the normals in Max. Let us know if you have any problems.

That fixes my problem!, but i have 1 more question, is it possible to collapse with multiple textures?, also the uv looks strange in the uv view but the mesh with textures looks perfect

FYI, another issue that you may come across is that detaching elements/subobjects from an object will ALSO invalidate normals. There's unfortunately no other command to do this so in case you need to detach objects, you'll need to make a copy of it and delete elements that you don't want to be part of the object.

Just a heads up, for anyone else who might be having an issue where importing meshes and then attaching them together messes up the normals of one of the meshes, and the collapse utility didn't solve the problem (which was my case); try using the Reset X Form utility. When I selected both of the meshes and applied a Reset X Form and then converted them into an Editable Poly, when I attached them together the normals were preserved.
