Can't combine mesh in maya?

inanimate

I have a mesh of a large environment that is divided into numerous submeshes. I try combining these into a single mesh in Maya using Mesh>Combine and then deleting history. However, when I export the mesh to unity (either as fbx or obj) the submeshes remain. How can I get a single mesh?

This might be something different, but make sure when you export your mesh from Maya the object isn't parented under any groups or all that stuff goes with it into Unity. Also make sure you're using the Export Selected option and not Export All.

Thanks, I did try export selected and I'm getting the same issue.

Do you have the same material applied to the entirety of the new combined mesh?

In the export settings, obj has "groups on/off", I can't remember that setting in fbx offhand.
