Multiple piece models

Can showpro tool load a multiple piece model that had been saved as one in milkshape, saved it as a dts plus, had all pieces selected yet when I open it up in showpro only one piece loads.
Then thinking I can load multiple pieces from multiple dts files to make the object combine on stage showpro opens them up separately with no way that I can find to combine them as one.
I did the same thing in Constructor and one piece only loaded also, but when I kept importing all the separate dts files of the pieces they combined on stage properly with correct textures and so on.
Two possibilities did I save wrong or am I not finding correct procedure on showpro to combine them, I've been thru all the documentation in both products several times and can't see where I'd be wrong, appreciate some help on this, thanks.

Does your code work in the engine as far as the texture maps and texture, geometry and so on, I think thats what you meant. If whatever you created those things with and you made it correctly in theory it should open them up in showpro...I'm guessing most of the art that can't be done in Constructor say has to be done, mapped skinned and then scripted in game would that be correct?
