I have a space ship in a scene. I created an Image Plane with the ships name on it, and "attached" it to the ship. I saved the ship in content. When I load the ship in New project, the image plane IS attached to the ship properly. When I do a replace of the very same ship, in an animation, the image planes are attached, as they move with the animation, but they are no longer where they should be and are way above and behind the ship. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

I guess it won't REPLACE the current ship, it ADDs a new one. I thought it WOULD replace if the current prop to be replaced is SELECTED, but upon further review, it added a new prop.

Okay, that sucked, you can't replace props in a scene, only models. Fix that Reallusion!
But you have your gorgeous spaceship prop/scene set up but you added something to your ship like I did. Here's a fix, probably wrong, but it works. Gurus stop glaring at me with disapproval.
Load your new better prop. Get xyz location and rotation of Ship 1, enter into Ship 2. They should align perfectly. LINK ship 2 to Ship 1. Now hide ship 1. Run you animation. You only see 1 ship? Woohoo! It works. If something goes funky, make sure you don't have any Transform settings that were saved in Ship 2. You don't want them. Ship 2 needs to follow/link Ship 1. Then everything is peachy until the next problem.

:ermm::Whistling: :D
Load your new better prop. Get xyz location and rotation of Ship 1, enter into Ship 2.
You have an Align function for that. Right mouse click on a new prop > Align > Align To and then point to the old prop and click on it. Then check all boxes. Select Pivot (if it is at the same relative location for both props), or Center.
