Prop vs Location

I have a few labs in my model that I would like to be "locations". The reason I selected props instead of locations is because they are lab stations, and for some reason labs are not an option as locations.

How can I make my lab props locations? The tech is supposed to process a blood order in one of the lab stations, but it needs to "acquire it". However, I cannot lump these stations into a location group. It's unfortunate.

You can add a Location object and then change its shape to be a Lab Station by clicking the sampler in the Visuals properties panel and sampling a Lab Station prop.

Alternatively, you could put a Location object on or near the prop as a place and thing to be acquired.
