Ok im not sure how it is in gmax but i have 3ds max and i think u can use atach tool to make all the meshes into one then connect the parts u need using create tool in polygon roll out. then for the whole editable poly or mesh use skin modifier add the bones u need and edit the envelopes of the bones
