Maya2012 - combining two objects: both disappear

n88tr

I am working on a model and would like to combine two parts together so i can merge some verts. Specifically the pistol grip and trigger guard of a gun to it's lower receiver.

the count for each is under 2000

i have both selected and hit combine and they both disappear. i hit F to frame it but it's gone. I have cleared history and tried again, still the same thing.

can anyone help me please? thank you

Usually happens to me when one or both parts are instanced copies that remain when the original is deleted - if you've duplicated something as an instance before and are trying to merge it, normal duplicate both objects, move them off to the side, and try combining those.
