When you create an aircraft model, generally an object like a wing is composed of other parts. A wing may consist of the wing body, the aileron, the flap and perhaps a wingtip. There may be hardware such as stays, guidelines, actuators, etc. It is desirable to export the entire wing with all its parts intact and _independent_. Some export or import tools may not support independent 'sub-objects' and will merge all the parts of a wing into single object (or 'mesh' as objects consisting of polygons are generally called in the 3d world). | When you create an aircraft model, generally an object like a wing is composed of other parts.
