Well, I'll try this and see what happens. There are no complications. The 'sword' is a figure - it's has over a hundred morphs, alternate geometry, takes MAT and MOR poses, and has props parented/smartparented to it. Can't do all of this with a prop. :) The problem, to me at least, is that Poser wasn't designed for anything but human/animal figures, basically independent of each other, in a scene with props (parented or not). These days, though, people make all sorts of objects into figures (for the above mentioned advantanges) and parent them all over the place. Seems to me that CL has to redefine the idea of a "figure" and make adjustments accordingly. Not all parented items are "clothes" per se which have conforming properties (similar body parts).

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
