"Can the floating items change their "road" at a certain point? Like a railroad car on a turnout. " That's what I meant by "tributary" action. Like autos merging into a highway, or barges in rivers.... The existing Easy-pose system makes only one track. But..... answering your second question and thinking out loud.... This doesn't really use the full EP setup, with all of its controls. All it really needs is a chain of parented parts, so a branch, turnout, tributary, or switch should be possible. Because of the way Poser does parenting, we can't have both an split and a merge in the same chain; only a split is possible when starting from the Node. To accomplish a merge, the prop will have to move backwards toward the node, which is an easy choice to include.
