Note that in addition to creating simple, single-segment props, you can also import both simple props and more complex, multi-segment props.

To import a single-segment prop, click the **Import prop** button at the top of the **Tracking **panel.

To import a multi-segment prop, click the **Import subject** button.

In Shogun, a prop is a rigid object, such as a <span style="color: #1d1c1d">single bone system. A multi-segment prop is not a rigid object and has more than one single bone, so it is defined as a subject.</span>

> ✅ ** Tip**   
> ✅ An efficient way to evaluate filter performance to ensure the smoothest possible tracking for selected objects is to create object presets with different values for the filtering properties. You can then apply them to selected objects using the saved object presets. For more information, see [Create and apply object presets](https://vicon-help.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ShogunLive121/pages/1253212375) in *Getting more from Vicon Shogun Live*.
