Do you mean making an object out of multiple objects, with smooth seams 
where they meet? This can not be done automatically, but you can do it 
with a more complex CSG shape. For example, in joining a cylinder to a 
plane, you could use a difference of a torus from a cylinder to get a 
smooth join. Or you could use a mesh-based modeller capable of combining 
meshes in this way...but I would suggest sticking with CSG and POV 
primitives.
