Maya import doesn't show as one object

Hi

I am trying to change the basic sphere of my player to a model from maya. Model imports OK but when I try to change the sphere mesh to the import object, it just shows the polygon parts of the object such as hands, legs, torso etc but I cannot select the whole thing. Anyone know how to fix that in either unity or maya? I tried grouping in maya but it doesn’t seem to work.

selecting the parent object of the hierarchy will select everything, selecting individual member of the hierarchy will select individual member objects, etc.
