Shante: In fact it's good that parenting is not done automatically any longer as de-parenting is a bit tedious. There is no sense in parenting for instance a door, a stairway or a column to a character like you have them in many scene sets.

And dynamic clothes are not always parented to the same body part. While a blouse is best parented to the chest (usually) a skirt should be parented to the head and a handkerchief either to the hand or to the pocket of a blazer.

So now you simply choose the object, open the property tab and click the button for parenting and see the hirarchy editor.

 I do use your methid. But, I think your method for simple props is a bit more tedious especially if you have a complex set with a lot of stuff and you have (which is the case with me) hundreds of smart prop stuff for older figures. If not smart propped to say V4 and then I try to repurpose them in V2 or DAZ Troll or some other figure, or vise versa, the prop drops into the scene up in the air or out of position(where it was originally placed when set up for original figure) instead of placing it within some proximity of the body part intended. Which means I gotta do a lot of searching amd mving around and repositioning.

So far most of my Smart props for Posette & V2 work for Antonia & V4. But any created in Poser 7 don't work even if applied to same figure. I have to reposition and repeant them. Really a hassle, especially as I said if you have a complex set or if the figure has been moved from default position.

also in case of earrings I have not ever found any reason to make simple stuff like that into a conformer. Repurposing ability of .pp2 files is wonderful for being able to use them on ALL figures as .PP2 files whereas done as confromers youy must use them on orifinally intended figure.

I need simple solutions to wade through all this.  :)

What is this problem Mr Bently mentioned with P7 unable to export to obj files? I used to do that all the time in P4. I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but is P7's ability to do that really broken?
