Combine Static Meshes?

How does this work exactly? I tried to use it on a set of static meshes but it just crashed the editor.

I haven't tried using it yet but I'm guessing once it is working it will allow you to make detailed custom structures with the mod set, then simply turn it all into one mesh for easier manipulation.

Not sure if it will remember materials on individual faces though. hmmm.

Is combining the same thing as grouping? Right click and select group, or is does that do something different?

Grouping is gonna be different. Combining is a term that suggests literally merging the meshs into one, while grouping is a sort of multi-select manager...that i keep forgetting to use. DOH!

Im aware about grouping, but merging would have some advantages grouping doesnt have.

Yeah I just wanted some clarification.
