Suppose I have a jewelry set - all props (pp2 files), which parent to V4. There are 5 items in the set, and I can add them one by one ... but is there any way to create a special pp2 file or python to add them in one shot? I'm doing some 'fit poses' and for testing, it gets very annoying to always have to add them one by one

I've spent an hour searching web & this forum for suggestions, but nothing close - I'm probably using the wrong 'terms & jargon'.

FYI - I use PP2014 and P11. Maybe 70% is G2F via DSON and 30% V4/A4 native.

What version of Poser do you have? The last several versions I believe do fallow you to select several items to apply to a figure at once. I know conforming clothing works that way ... assuming it might apply to props as well.

If you're willing to do a little set up, you've had that ability for a while. Add all the props you want to V4 and parent them to V4. Now save the props to the library. Make sure you selected them all in the hierarchy window which pops up when you have to name the file you're saving. DO NOT SELECT V4. You should be done.

Well now, that works a lot better!

I'll give the save as prop method a shot - course they won't be loading back onto V4, but to G2F. I've been doing that with PZ2 for a while - am making G2F in DSON 'adjusters' for V4 jewelry.

As mentioned, I have P11 and PP2014.

Now save the props to the library ...

Hmmm, at least in Poser 11, the "save to library" icon in Props seems to do nothing. If I'm in the POSE library, it works as I expect (& is how I'm saving my jewelry 'adjuster' poses) but if I'm in Characters, Props, mats, etc, it seems to do nothing at all. Is there another way to activate this? via menu or macro?

Okay - some progress. It seems P11 is very fussy about which library folder is open - some cause the "new set" pop-up ... some do not. So I can add them into some odd place I don't want ... but obviously can move via file explorer later.

Second wrinkle - despite the props being parented to V4, they save as "parent UNIVERSE" in the new pp2. So I did need to edit the new pp2, changing this to "smartparent lForeArm:1" and so on, for each item in the new bundled pp2.

(As a side, I'm still a bit fuzzy about the lForeArm:1 vs lForeArm:5 - why 1 or 2 or 5? Most of the original jewelry PP2 had a ":2" after each actor ... except one file had ":5". I just changed them all to ":1" in my bundled PP2 and P11 seemed to take it fine.)
