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

Find the controls for importing props at the top of the **Tracking **panel.

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

In Shogun Markerless, a prop is a rigid object, such as a single bone system.

A multi-segment prop is not a rigid object and has more than a single bone, so it is defined as a subject.

> ✅ ** 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 props using the saved object presets. For more information, see [Create and apply object presets](https://vicon.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ShogunMarkerless121/pages/2381024423/Import+props#objectPresets).

## Create and apply object presets

Object presets enable you to specify the object tracking and smoothing (filtering) properties for selected props. (Note that these properties override the overall object tracking properties that you can set in the **Processing** panel.)

By experimenting with different values for the filtering properties and applying them to an object using a saved object preset, you can evaluate filter performance to ensure the smoothest possible tracking for selected objects.

**To create an object preset:**

1. At the top of the **Tracking** panel, in the Props section, ensure the prop whose tracking and/or filtering properties that you want to refine is selected.
2. On the prop's **Properties** tab below, ensure the Advanced properties  are displayed and on the right of the **Object Preset** field, click **Manage**.
3. In the **Object Presets** dialog, enter a name for the new preset, click **Add** and ensure the new preset is selected.
4. Specify the required settings and close the dialog.

Object presets are saved in the *Subjects.mcp* file (found in *C:\Users\Public\Documents\Vicon\ShogunMarkerless#.#\LastRun\*UserName), or in any exported tracking configuration.

**To apply an object preset:**

1. In the **Tracking** panel, ensure that the object to which you want to apply the preset is selected.
2. On the **Properties** tab below, ensure the Advanced properties  are displayed and in the **General** section, from the **Object Preset** list, select the required preset.
  The tracking and/or filtering properties specified in the preset are applied to the prop.
