how to join parts but preserve edge?

[CdeV]

Hi guys,

I am making a Tripart snake IMM brush. This image demonstrates the 3 parts.

For the head (part 1) I joined the sculpted head to one of the rings by dynameshing them together. This worked, but the polygons on the edge which connects to part 2 were not preserved and I assume this is why they were not able to be welded together when i used it as an IMM brush.

Is there a way to join the head to one of the rings while preserving this edge?

Length of parts may be a problem, might not.

woohoo thanks doug ! i figured this out by using mirror and weld on one of those ring pieces and because i had symmetry on while sculpting the meshes sync up great and weld perfectly !! happy snake.
