SaintFox makes a good point about using smart props. But I have had an idea. :woot:
What if I make a generic conforming DIY Earrings figure for Antonia ("DIY"=do it yourself). It would work like this. The conforming figure would have three parts to each earring. Each part would have some simple "place-holder" geometry, perhaps just a cross-hair. The user would then load their own geometry into the scene, and use 'Replace Body Part with Prop' to insert their own geometry into the figure, then save the figure back to the Figures palette with a new name as their own custom earrings. If the user did not need all three parts to the earring, the unneeded parts could be hidden from the menus.
Perhaps there is some snag that I have not thought of, but on the face of it, I can't see why it would not work well.
