Hi,
I need my character to carry a prop I've created and place it on the ground.   I'm attached the prop to his hands, and I'm using the 'Occupations>Courier' pack animations for the walking and placing, but don't know how to DETACH it when he puts it on the ground. 

This is what I've done so far:
- I've created the prop and added it as a 'custom prop'
- using Composer mode I've attached it to his hands - and on the correct layer so it appears between his arms when he walks
- I now need to detach it when he places it on the ground (and walks away)
(I tried using another instance of the prop with visible/invisible settings but it seems there is no place on the character Z axis that is between his arms - only when you add the prop in composer mode)

Am I missing something simple or just doing this the wrong way?

Thanks,
D.
