Hi Shane, as far as I know the "combine same named objects" option in Moi is working properly.

But some programs that you import into decide on their own to combine objects of the same name together into the same mesh object.

If that's what you are running into then changing the setting in MoI would not look like it had any effect since the importing program is doing the combining itself at the import step.

Try looking for some option in the receiving program to turn off that combining.

Also see this previous thread for some more discussion on this:
