Jim Burton's are geniuses, RunDNA have very high IQ's. But many of mine are blame stupid unless the model is in the default position. Necklaces, dogtags-- I seem to remember this from the combat pack review-- they tie themselves in knots and don't come near a neck or arm. Are you really only supposed to apply smart props in the default position? What do you do if the pose and the render is close to done but a little something shiny around the neck would be perfect? For clarity, I do choose the figure when I go to apply, and if I forget, I delete the prop and try again-- my Poser seems to slip to the hip or jacket without telling me. I'm not sure if the best choice for a smart prop, like for instance, a necklace, is Body or Neck. Neither worked for the dog tags when the character was in a sitting position. I do use the appropriate ear for earrings and foot for shoes. And then do conform. It was a night scene and I never could find the dogtags.
