Greetings..

I'm currently working on a set of props and they utilize posers smart prop feature - however I've run into a bit of a snag and I'm wondering if perhaps anyone else has had experience with this or knows of a workaround.  I'm not adverse to editing the .pp2 files directly.

That having been said, here's my problem.

As far as I can determine, when a smart prop is loaded, it is automatically parented to whatever figure or prop that has the same internal name in poser that the smart prop has listed in the .pp2 file under the smartparent directive.  

Now, if your smartprop is parented to another prop, and you have more than one of these props in a scene, when loaded from the library the smart prop will always attach itself to the first prop that matches the internal name, regardless of whether you have the second prop selected or not.

For example, if you had a prop called "Tree" and a smart prop called "leaves" that added itself to tree, if you have 2 trees in your scene when you load "leaves" from your library it will always attach itself to the first tree it finds, even if you have the 2nd tree selected when loading the smartprop leaves from the library.

I would like to be able to load the smartprop "leaves" for each tree in the scene and have it attach itself accordingly, however as of yet I've been unable to find a way to do this using the smartprop feature.

Has anyone else run into this problem and if so have you found a successful workaround?
