softimage ~ merge and keep uv coordinates

dregoloth

I have finished uv mapping 2 models in softimage, only to realize that it would have been better to merge them as one object, and then uv map them.
the problem I'm having is that I can't figure out how to preserve the uv coordinates when merging, and I'd rather not remap the thing.
can anyone help me with this?

This option usually does the trick.

thanks, I tried it in 6.0.1 and it worked perfectly (for some reason it doesn't work in 7.5 for me).

It should work the same no matter what version.
