Bringing only one mesh into uv image edit

[sreinmann]

I'm using blender 2.71 and have built a part using several mesh shapes. I'm having difficulty exporting the whole part using the UV image edit tool. I can unwrap one mesh create my texture but I can only seem to be able to commit to map one part or one mesh of my entire part at a time. What might I have missed.

It would be helpful if you used proper terminology. What is a "mesh shape"? If you're talking about separate objects then just join them.

HA! That got it Thanks Cpt.

If you can't tell, this is my very first foray into 3d modeling so yeah, get ready for a lot of misused terminology.
