Can't merge two nodes to one

I've problems merging two nodes to one - Using Modify -> Attach.
Is there a poly limit for each object ?
Once I selected both Nodes for merging, nothing happens.
It shouldn't be that hard - Thanks in advance.

a result object should not exceed 64K vertices limit. Attach tool requires you to pick the object you want to attach (it will disappear from hierarchy) and then pick a target object to attach to (it will retain in hierarchy and will take source object's geometry).

It somehow worked - But now, the Mesh is corrupted.
Vertices: 88302
Polygons: 29434

Ah... Damn - I thought I read Polygons.
Thank you so much
EDIT: Inside 3ds Max, I have 40k Verts...
Converting it with OpenIV, it increases to 88k ?
How can that be

Vertices in 3dsMax are just 3D points. Vertices in game and in ZModeler is a 3D point with UV texture mapping and surface normal vector. Two polygons with different UV mapping and different surface normals can share two vertices on common edge in 3dsMax. The same polygons (because of different UV mapping and different surface normals) can not share vertices and you will need in ZModeler 4 vertices instead of 2 for the same geometry.
