*** Would there be a way to edit the pp2 in word pad to remove the parenting? *** The failsafe way: Open the .pp2 file in wordpad, and find a line like this: parent (whatever) or smartparent (whatever) Replace this by: parent UNIVERSE (Case sensitive!) Resave the file under a different name (e.g. "Necklace Fabi nonParented.pp2") Now the prop will load in it's original zero pose, no matter what figure is loaded into the scene. Move the reloaded (just to be sure) prop to it's new position, then parent it to the respective body part of your figure (which should be the "chest" though it's a necklace; but you surely don't want the necklace to turn and bend with the neck, right?) Now resave the prop *again under a different name" if you want so, e.g. "Necklace Fabi for Dawn.pp2". You'll be prompted that this prop has a parent, and whether you want to save it as a "smart prop": Click "Yes"! Now you should be done. HTH
