Ah! Alright.
This sure seems a better approach.
I did the following command
search -not -type region
to get all the objects which aren't a region.

I tried doing it with model axis.g and there was no change in shape.
So thought maybe it would work with each model.
What I wanted to do was to get a mged object which includes the entire
model, and therefore after conversion we may get an obj file that
renders the entire model.

Our goal is to reduce the number of .obj files per model. And if
possible keep it to one per model for viewing purpose.
For further tweaking and analyzing like giving a different color to
each part of the model, we can render another version of the model
that has different obj file for different part of the model.
